The San Diego Chargers on Saturday placed Melvin Ingram on the “Reserve-Injured” list with the designation to return after suffering a hip injury. Teams are only allowed to place one player a season on the list, so the Chargers will not be able to use the exemption for the remainder of 2014.

Instituted in 2012, the rule allows a player expected to miss an extended period of time the possibility to return to action instead of missing the entire season. The player cannot return to practice until six weeks have passed from the date he was placed on the list, and he is not eligible to return to a game for at least eight weeks.

As such, the soonest Ingram could possibly play in a game would be Week 11 against the Oakland Raiders. Since the Chargers have a Week 10 bye, the third-year veteran will miss a minimum of seven games. No corresponding move has been announced.

WTF????

[cyberbolt]

FUCK

[blahblahblah]

So...8 games at least. Didnt see this one coming.

Ingram is really a heartbreaker thus far. We see glimpses of what he can do and then he goes and gets injured. Really frustrating.

Suddenly Freeney and Attaochu are really important.

Damn, I thought we released Larry English already. Tons of potential but that doesn't help the team from the sideline. Like last season, hopefully he can comeback healthy for the stretch run. His play is needed. As stated above by the OP, this is just really frustrating.

Bring Law up?

Bring Law up?

That is the natural assumption unless Telesco is going to surprise us and bring in an outsider.

FUCK, Ingram is cursed.

Cannot Catch A Break :logo.

[Gilded Pickle]

Clary, Hardwick, Mathews, Ingram.

Four starters, two games played. Will we ever have a season when multiple key players DONT get injured??

[Antonio's Gates]

This is attaochus time. Maybe not this week but this is his opportunity. Also expect to see law replace Ingram on the roster. Should be good on special teams as well

The only player I'd be upset about losing is Philip Rivers. We can win without Melvin Ingram. We've done it before.
