COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Starting offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga was placed on injured reserve by the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday.
Bulaga, who has battled groin and back injuries throughout training camp, started at right tackle during last Sunday's opener at Washington, playing 45 snaps before being sidelined early in the third quarter after tweaking his back.
He did not practice this week as the Chargers prepared for Sunday's home opener against the Dallas Cowboys and will miss a minimum of three games by going on IR.
Storm Norton came in for Bulaga last week and is expected to get the start at right tackle.
