Mike Pouncey Not Expected To Play In Week 1
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey (hip), who missed practice this week with a hip injury, is not expected to play in the Week 1 season opener against the Bengals, according to sources. It's a blow to the Chargers offensive line right out of the gate, as the 31-year-old eight-year veteran started all 16 games for the team a season ago. In quarterback Tyrod Taylor's first start of the 2020 season now that Philip Rivers is in Indianapolis, Pouncey's absence could have an impact on the road. The Bolts are expected to run the ball more often with Taylor under center, leaning on Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson and rookie Joshua Kelley.
