Chargers defensive tackle Da'Shawn Hand has been placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury.
Hand suffered the injury last week against the Commanders, appearing in only four defensive snaps. He missed practice all week and will now be out for the next four games.
Hand looked to be having a career year in his eighth year of NFL play, but this absence will hinder his production. The 30-year-old was working as a full-time starter for the first time in his career.
