Report: Chargers will be without Mike Pouncey Week 1 vs. Bengals

The Los Angeles Chargers will be without their starting center to open up the 2020 season.

The Chargers will officially be without their starting center to start the 2020 season.

Mike Pouncey is not expected to play in Sunday’s contest against the Bengals due to a hip injury, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Pouncey did not practice all week.

To fill the void, Dan Feeney will likely move from left guard to center, while Forrest Lamp will slide into left guard.

Pouncey is playing on a one-year deal after missing the majority of the 2019 season with a neck injury. He was cleared to play, but his hip, which was an issue when he played with Dolphins, is now giving him problems.

Chargers’ Mike Pouncey will likely be a game-time decision for Week 1 vs. Bengals

The Los Angeles Chargers could be without their starting center this weekend for the season opener.

There’s a chance that the Chargers could be without their starting center for the season opener against the Bengals.

According to coach Anthony Lynn, center Mike Pouncey will likely be a game-time decision on Sunday. Lynn added that Pouncey’s injury is not related to the season-ending neck injury he suffered last season.

Pouncey missed some of the final practices last week, but his injury is unknown.

If Pouncey is unable to, Dan Feeney is next on the depth chart at center. That would mean Forrest Lamp would likely get the start at left guard in the meantime.

Another player who will be a game-time decision is wide receiver Mike Williams, who is dealing with a shoulder injury.

Lynn said Williams is slowly being worked in this week at practice.
