Chargers cornerback Brandon Flowers returned to practice Wednesday.
Flowers, who’s missed the last four games with a concussion, was listed by the team as a full practice participant.
His return would be a boost for a Chargers defense that’s been thin in the secondary since top cornerback Jason Verrett was placed on injured reserve earlier this month. Craig Mager, a second-year player, has been starting in Flowers’ absence.
Flowers, 30, is in his third season with the Chargers. He played his first six seasons with the Chiefs, who drafted him in the second round in 2008.
He’s been a starter when healthy for his entire career, and he has 20 career interceptions.
