Chargers LB Shawne Merriman left the Chargers’ Week 3 game against the Dolphins after his injured groin limited him. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Times reports:
Chargers LB Merriman Aggravates Groin Injury
Linebacker Shawne Merriman was not surprised his injured groin wouldn’t last more than a few snaps of Sunday’s 23-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
“I wasn’t good before the game,” Merriman, who played the first two snaps of Miami’s first two series and then not again, said of his pregame workout. “It wasn’t feeling good at all. It wasn’t there yet. I just had to go to see what I could do.” […]
Going forward, though, Merriman didn’t rule out resting through the bye that follows this week’s game at Pittsburgh.
“I don’t know yet,” he said. “We’ll do our best to get me ready (for Sunday).”
Rookie first-round pick Larry English replaced Merriman in the starting lineup.
