Los Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey will not play in Sunday's opener in Cincinnati because of a hip injury, the team announced Friday. A team captain and four-time Pro Bowl selection, Pouncey has not practiced this week.

The 31-year-old Pouncey missed 11 games last season with a neck injury. He missed 11 games with Miami in 2016, also due to a hip injury, but played all 16 games with the Dolphins in 2017 and all 16 with the Chargers in 2018. He has made 114 career starts with Miami (2011-17) and Los Angeles since the Dolphins drafted him 15th overall in 2011.

Dan Feeney is listed as the No. 2 center on the depth chart. Feeney, 26, has played in 47 games (41 starts) since the Chargers selected him in the third round in the 2017 NFL Draft. Four Chargers are listed as questionable for the Week 1 game against the Bengals: wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder), right tackle Bryan Bulaga (hamstring), right guard Trai Turner (knee) and tight end Virgil Green (quad).
