Active against Arizona Fulton (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Fulton was injured last Sunday against Denver but was able to make enough progress to get the green light for this one.

Impact Fulton injured his hamstring during the Chargers' Week 6 win over the Broncos.

Fulton has played 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps in three of four regular-season games, and on the year he's accumulated 15 tackles (11 solo) and three passes defended (one interception).
