San Diego Chargers center Nick Hardwick will retire from the NFL on Tuesday, the team announced Monday.

Hardwick, an 11-year veteran, had been quarterback Philip Rivers’ main center since Rivers became the Chargers’ starter.

A third-round draft pick out of Purdue in 2004, the same year the Chargers acquired Rivers, Hardwick started 136 games — 108 with Rivers as quarterback.

Hardwick’s final season was ended by a neck injury in Week 1.

Hardwick made the Pro Bowl in 2006 as he helped running back LaDainian Tomlinson rush for 1,815 yards and score an NFL-record 31 touchdowns.
