Chargers place Mike Pouncey on IR, to have neck surgery

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey will undergo neck surgery and is done for the year, according to coach Anthony Lynn.

Lynn said he does not know if the injury is career ending, but he's thankful that Pouncey will be OK.

Pouncey suffered the neck injury during last weekend's loss to the Denver Broncos.

With Pouncey out, Dan Feeney will move over from left guard to center, and Forrest Lamp will move into the starting lineup at left guard.

The Chargers began the year without cornerstone left tackle Russell Okung, who was placed on the non-football illness list due to a pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots he suffered during offseason work in June.
