Chargers center Mike Pouncey (hip) has been placed on the injured reserve, ending his 2020 season. In a corresponding move, the team promoted fullback Gabe Nabers to the active roster.
Pouncey dealt with the hip injury prior to the regular season opener, forcing him to miss Week 1. But it appears the injury wasn’t making any progress.
Pouncey was limited to five games with the Dolphins in 2016 because of the same issue.
Pouncey, 31, missed the majority of the 2019 season after undergoing neck surgery following Week 5 and was playing on a one-year, $9 million contract prior the the injury.
To fill the void, Dan Feeney will start at center while Forrest Lamp starts at left guard.
