Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey, who is out for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, reportedly has a small fracture in his left hip.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the three-time Pro Bowler is scheduled to undergo a CT scan this week and could miss another week or two depending on the results of the test.

The 27-year-old Pouncey had surgery on the right side of his hip during the offseason.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase officially ruled out Pouncey on Friday.

"He will be out this game," Gase said after practice at the University of Washington's Husky Stadium. "I just felt like if we're close enough to where I just know it's not going to happen. I'm pretty sure that's not really going to be a secret to them as far as they probably weren't counting on him playing, Instead of all the riff-raff of trying to hide anything it is what it is."

Anthony Steen, a former Alabama right guard the Dolphins converted to center during the offseason, will make his first NFL start in his first regular-season game.
