The Galaxy will officially close the books on Robbie Rogers’ 2017 season Thursday by placing the defender on the season-ending injury list. Rogers has not played or trained with the team since a December operation on his left ankle left him experiencing nerve issues in his foot.
By placing Rogers on the season-ending injury list, the Galaxy will get some relief under the league’s $3.845-million salary cap. Rogers’ base salary this season is $225,000. The move does not necessarily end Rogers’ career, however, because the Galaxy have a 2018 contract option on the player.
Rogers said this winter that he was contemplating retirement after the complications from his latest surgery left him without feeling in his left foot.
