Pouncey is Chargers’ second key player to go down in 2020 after star safety Derwin James tore his meniscus back in training camp.

This will be the second consecutive year in which Pouncey ends his season prematurely. He played only five games in 2019, before being shut down due to season-ending neck surgery.

With this latest injury, there is a real possibility that Mike Pouncey played his last game with the Chargers. He is set to become a free agent in March, having signed a one-year extension last year.

However, it would be surprising if he stays considering that Chargers’ general manager Tom Telesco remains high on him.

“On top of being a Pro Bowl talent, he’s the ultimate captain, teammate, and competitor,” said Telesco shortly after Pouncey landed on IR. “Quite simply, he’s one of the best leaders I’ve ever been around. Mike’s played a major role in establishing the culture and standard we now have in our locker room and sets a tremendous example, especially for the younger members of our team. I’m happy he’ll remain around the team throughout the season, and all of us wish Mike a successful procedure and speedy recovery.”

Aside from the Chargers, Mike Pouncey also played with Miami Dolphins through his NFL career. He has 114 career starts and has made the Pro Bowl four times.

Pouncey injured his neck in Sunday’s loss to Denver Broncos and was forced to leave the game early. The injury turned out to be a lot more severe than it was initially percieved, with head coach Anthony Lynn unable to confirm that 30-year-old Pro Bowler’s career isn’t in jeopardy. 

Pouncey joined LA Chargers ahead of the 2018 NFL season, inking a two-year deal. He started all 16 games and earned a Pro Bowl appearance last season, which brought him a one-year extension in September.

Mike Pouncey’s injury is just one of the many setbacks that Chargers suffered in 2019. The team’s injury list is getting bigger and bigger as the season goes and already includes safety Derwin James, tight end Hunter Henry, defensive end Melvin Ingram, and offensive tackle Russell Okung, among others.

In order to replace Pouncey, Chargers signed guard/center Ryan Groy on Wednesday. Groy spent the past four years with the Buffalo Bills, where he started 16 games at center during that period.
