The Los Angeles Chargers announced Thursday that they’ve signed WR Alex Erickson, S Dean Marlowe and TE Nick Vannett to their practice squad.

Here’s the Chargers updated practice squad:

  1. OLB Brevin Allen
  2. T Zack Bailey
  3. WR Terrell Bynum
  4. DL Jerrod Clark
  5. DL Christian Covington
  6. WR Keelan Doss
  7. QB Max Duggan
  8. OLB Andrew Farmer
  9. CB Matt Hankins
  10. TE Hunter Kampmoyer
  11. DL CJ Okoye
  12. G/T Austen Pleasants
  13. WR Alex Erickson
  14. S Dean Marlowe
  15. TE Nick Vannett

Erickson, 30, signed on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin back in 2016. He was entering the final year of a three-year, $1.62 million contract when he agreed to a two-year contract is worth $4.68 million in 2018. 

From there, Erickson signed on with the Texans as a free agent. However, he was released coming out of the preseason and signed on with the Panthers’ practice squad before being promoted in back in September of 2021. 

Washington opted to sign Erickson to a one-year contract last offseason and spent time on and off their roster. They re-signed him to a futures contract back in January but decided to release him in May.

Erickson joined the Jets last month but was ultimately released.

In 2022, Erickson appeared in two games for the Commanders and returned four punts for 25 yards.
