Chargers Now Signing 2 Players Amid Injury Crisis

Is Jim Harbaugh The Real Life Ted Lasso?

CB – Isas Waxter

The undrafted free agent out of Villanova originally signed on with the Seattle Seahawks after the draft, but was unfortunately let go during preseason roster cuts. At 6’1 209 lbs, he’s a big and physical defensive back, who excels in run defense.

With an RAS (Relative Athletic Score) of 7.49, Waxter brings decent athleticism, though his size and play recognition ability are what’re intriguing. He’ll definitely be a developmental player who could even switch over to safety in order to maximize his traits.

OT – Michael Dunn

The Chargers have also added offensive lineman Michael Dunn (6’5 315 lbs), who has spent the past 5 seasons with the Cleveland Browns.

Dunn has played in 53 games so far, with 9 starts under his belt, bringing some much-needed experience. He’s also taken snaps at both tackle and guard, which highlights his positional flexibility.

With how decimated they are along the offensive line, Dunn could see himself elevated to the active roster in the coming weeks to be a depth option if more injuries occur.

Chargers Subsequent Roster Moves

Due to the addition of these two new players to the practice squad, the Chargers have waived CB/S Myles Purchase, who has been with the team since April, as well as releasing OLB Rashad Weaver, who was signed just two weeks ago in light of Khalil Mack’s injury, to make room for them.
