This certainly isn’t the news we all wanted to hear, but I’m sure many could have called it after initially hearing what was ailing him.
On Thursday afternoon, the Chargers announced that they are placing starting center Mike Pouncey on injured reserve with the veteran scheduled to have season-ending hip surgery before the end of the month. In a corresponding move, the team is promoting fullback Gabe Nabers to the active roster.
Pouncey started all 16 games in his first season with the Chargers back in 2018.
