Nate Kaeding
San Diego Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding suffered a slight tear in his groin during Wednesday’s Pro Bowl practice and will be unable to perform in the NFL all-star event.
It’s a tough break for the kicker who was really looking forward to the game.
“I had mentally structured it in my mind, I was going to take this week seriously,” Kaeding told Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune. “I was looking forward to getting out there [in the Pro Bowl] and getting to kick and going through that, rather than six months from now.”
Miami Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter was added to the team as his replacement.
