Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh told reporters today that LB Junior Colson needed surgery on a shoulder injury and his recovery timeline will extend through this season, per Kris Rhim.
Colson was placed on injured reserve during roster cuts yesterday and not given a designation to return, ruling him out for the year.
Colson, 23, was a three-year starter at Michigan and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2023 and 2022. The Chargers used the No. 69 overall pick in the third round on him in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Colson signed a four-year, $6,027,006 contract with the Chargers that included a $1,203,276 signing bonus.
In 2024, Colson appeared in 11 games for the Chargers and recorded 29 tackles and one pass defense.
