Shawne Merriman gave it his best shot against the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday, but after the game felt that it didn’t feel right.
“Shawne informed me he did not feel right (on the field) and thought it best to shut it down,” said Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith. “The road to winning the AFC West just got more difficult, but not impossible. Nothing is impossible. Shawne is a great player and an inspirational leader. He will be missed. We wish him a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.”
Merriman was placed on injured-reserve today; Jyles Tucker, the 2nd year man out of Wake Forrest, will replace Merriman at the OLB position.
