Chargers center Nick Hardwick suffered an ankle injury in Week One. He hasn’t played since.
Scott Mruczkowski slid over from guard to handle the duties. He’s done so well that the Chargers have been reluctant to rush Hardwick back.
But now they’ve got no choice.
Mruczkowski suffered an ankle injury on the game-winning drive against the Bengals on Sunday, and he has been placed on injured reserve.
The Chargers have replaced Mruczkowski with veteran center Eric Ghiaciuc, who was cut by the Chiefs after training camp.
Ghiaciuc spent four seasons with the Bengals, starting all 16 games in 2008.

Ghiaciuc is terrible. They must be reaaaaaaaaly desperate.
Can you spell double a-gap blitz?
Hardwick is supposed to play on Friday.
People don’t know how to read anymore…
Hardwick is playing this week. Must be lonely to be a hater.
Take it easy on the chump…err, chimp.
Ah yes….this is how an excuse for failure is born. Too many injuries….
Hey Joe in Toronto,
Good luck with double A-gap blitz without Thornton and Bullock.
Try it and watch Gates get the hot read for 30 yards.
Big Daddy_71…Eric Ghiaciuc in the lineup will only bring sorrow to Wang Diego…He has a proven track record.
Truffle shuffle would have been a better move.
Marty should tell Norv that a 13-3 record will still get ya fired when you invariably fail in the playoffs.
We all see this one coming…..
I can help but wonder how many of you haters are fans of an NFC football team. Maybe you just cant stand the fact that even the Bengals are better than ANY team in the NFC.
SUPERBOWL!
Sad bunch of haters. Must be a bunch of raider fans.
BostonISaChraphole: The AFC North is better than the rest of the AFC and (of course) the entire NFC. When was the last time S.D. contended for the AFC? I guess it was back in the late 80′s when they Fout’ed in the cold weather.
Ummm… How many NFC teams has San Diego EVER beat in the playoffs??
Hint: That would be ZERO, the same number of Superbowl victories these bunch of underachievers have.
Nobody has even noticed that the bengals rookie center kyle cook is doing a ten-fold better job than eric gut-sack did. I remember when he got to kansas city, he said chads was a distraction to the team and etc. Chad replied by saying “his play is a distraction, hes terrible”….. ROFL. Go chargers, keep scraping up players the bengals have cut, trust me we look for the best in everybody and only cut the worst of the worst.
what a buncha retarded haters
Hardwick is sick, and has a really hot wife.
