Chargers center Mike Pouncey had his season cut short after sustaining a neck injury that required surgery on Oct. 9.
Pouncey, the four-time Pro Bowler, missed the final 11 games of the season. The severity of the injury has had many questioning his future.
For Pouncey, he wants to play next season when they move to their new stadium in Inglewood, CA.
“I’m playing. That’s my goal,” Pouncey said, per Orange County Register’s Gilbert Manzano.
But Pouncey will need medical clearance in order to ensure that he can play in 2020 and beyond.
On Monday, Pouncey said he will see a doctor next week to have an MRI on his neck and get an update.
Pouncey played all 16 games in 2018 when he was signed that offseason. If he doesn’t receive the news he’s hoping for, there’s a chance that the Chargers could enter the new season with Scott Quessenberry as the starting center.
