Former Ohio State offensive lineman and current Los Angeles Chargers center, Corey Linsley has been placed on IR with a “non-emergent heart issue.” Linsley started the first three games for the Chargers this season before being put on the IR ahead of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He will be out for at least the next four games.
Linsley starred for the Buckeyes from 2009-2013 and was drafted in the fifth round of the NFL draft in 2014 by the Green Bay Packers. He was an integral part of the Packer offense through 2020. Then in March of 2021, he reached a deal with the Chargers that would earn him $62.5 million over five years making him the highest paid center in the league. He was named an All-Pro in 2020 and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2021.

Although this is unfortunate news, Fox News reported that “Linsley was in good spirits and will keep meeting with doctors to get more information.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family and we’re hopeful for a quick recovery.
