Chargers top pick Merriman hurts left knee

NFL.com wire reports

MINNEAPOLIS (Aug. 26, 2005) -- San Diego rookie outside linebacker Shawne Merriman left a preseason game at Minnesota in the first quarter with an injured left knee.

Merriman, the 12th overall choice in the draft out of Maryland, is challenging Ben Leber for a starting spot. After holding out the first week of training camp while his contract was negotiated, Merriman missed the Chargers' first preseason game. In his debut Aug. 21 against St. Louis, he had three tackles.

Merriman also skipped San Diego's offseason workouts on the advice of his agent, Kevin Poston, to avoid getting hurt before signing his contract.

Nothing serious, and he could have gone back in the game (asked to go back in for the 2nd half), but the team held him out for precautionary reasons.

Let it go, folks.

I hate to see players get hurt. Here's to hoping he has a fine career ... but just alittle less fine than Ware.

You gotta admit though, thus far Merriman is underware.
