SAN DIEGO - Chargers head coach Mike McCoy told reporters on Saturday that tight end Jeff Cumberland suffered a torn left Achilles tendon and is out for the season.
Cumberland sustained the injury in the first half of the San Diego Chargers' second preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Friday and did not return.
Cumberland earlier announced the news on Instagram.
With 8:42 left in the second quarter, Cumberland pulled up short near the back of the end zone after accelerating to catch a deep ball thrown by quarterback Kellen Clemens.
