A week ago, that new and improved offensive line was ready to go for this Sunday’s matchup with the Bengals. But now, just two days ahead of their week one contest, the Chargers are reportedly going to be without center Mike Pouncey to begin the season.
Chargers C Mike Pouncey, who missed practice this week with a hip injury, is not expected to play in Sunday's opener against the Bengals, per sources. A Chargers team that already lost its defensive leader in Derwin James now also will be without an offensive leader Sunday.
