The injury woes that have plagued Melvin Ingram continue.
Ingram, the outside linebacker who was the Chargers’ first-round draft pick in 2012, has been placed on injured reserve with the return designation. That means he’ll miss at least the next eight weeks.
Ingram had started the first two games of this season but suffered a hip injury last week against the Seahawks. Ingram missed 12 games last year with a torn ACL.
The Chargers haven’t announced a corresponding move to fill Ingram’s spot on the 53-player roster.
