San Diego Chargers second-round draft pick Terrence Kiel, shot during an attempted carjacking on July 4, had surgery Wednesday to remove a bullet from his abdomen and fragments from his left knee.
The surgery went well, general manager A.J. Smith said. Kiel, who had been the leading contender to start at strong safety, will miss at least the first two exhibition games.
Kiel was shot in the calf, knee and stomach in the parking lot of a Houston mall. He was released from the hospital two days later. Chargers doctors later discovered he has a fractured bone in his lower left leg and loose fragments in his knee.
