Pro Bowler Jason Verrett missed all but four games this season due to a torn ACL. Verrett was placed on injured reserve following Week 4. Brandon Flowers suffered two concussions this season, which led to missing seven games (including the previous three). Flowers has now been placed on IR and will miss the remainder of the season.
This was expected. Dealing with head injuries is serious, and Flowers can’t seem to avoid suffering said injuries. He will finish the year with 28 total tackles, five pass deflections and one interception (a pick-six). The Chargers signed DT Kaleb Eulls to the active roster in a corresponding move.
