AFC East injuries, Week 11: Mike Pouncey sits, Aqib Talib ailing

With the NFL season continuing on, more key names are going down with a variety of issues.

Mike Ehrmann

The Miami Dolphins defeated the San Diego Chargers 20-16 on Sunday afternoon despite not having center Mike Pouncey in the lineup.

Pouncey missed the contest with what the team is calling a "minor medical issue." He is expected to play in Week 12 for Miami, when it takes on the Carolina Panthers. The Dolphins still have a very unsettled offensive line, with the absence of Jonathan Martin and guard Richie Incognito.

New England Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib hurt his hip on Monday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers, per the Providence Journal. Talib has been dealing with a hip problem for most of the season and apparently the injury has resurfaced. He sat out a large portion of the fourth quarter of the 24-20 loss.

The New York Jets and Buffalo Bills squared off Sunday, but neither team sustained a serious injury.
