MERRIMAN OUT FOR THE YEAR
Posted by Mike Florio on September 9, 2008, 6:35 p.m.
We heard a little while ago from a league source that Merriman is out for the year. We didn’t report it as hard news because we weren’t 100 percent sure of it.
We now can report it as hard news, but only because Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com is reporting that, indeed, Merriman is out for the year.
It’s expected that the Chargers will soon put Merriman on injured reserve, and that he’ll have surgery to repair the torn PCL and LCL in his knee.
Jyles Tucker will take Merriman’s place.
The loss of Merriman and quarterback Tom Brady of the Patriots creates a sense that the AFC is wide open.
