The Los Angeles Chargers announced they waived TE Hayden Rucci and released TE Evan Svoboda from the practice squad’s injured list. 

Los Angeles’ practice squad now includes:

  1. LB Lander Barton
  2. LB Andre Carter
  3. LB Junior Colson
  4. RB Amar Johnson
  5. C Josh Kaltenberger
  6. T Laekin Vakalahi (International)
  7. DL Terry Webb
  8. TE Patrick Herbert
  9. DB Kaiir Elam
  10. WR Gary Jennings
  11. DE Myles Adams
  12. C Daniel Brunskill
  13. WR Luke Grimm
  14. QB Jake Browning
  15. WR Tejhaun Palmer
  16. DB Jalyn Armour-Davis

Rucci, 25, signed on with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin following the 2024 NFL Draft. He made the active roster out of training camp but was later released and re-signed to the practice squad. 

Miami brought Rucci back on a futures deal for 2025 and he once again bounced back and forth between the practice squad and active roster before being claimed by the Lions in November. He returned to Miami after just a short stint, then signed on with the 49ers practice squad in January after being cut again. 

The 49ers signed Rucci to a futures deal for 2026 but waived him coming out of the preseason. He signed on with the Jaguars’ practice squad, until the Chargers signed him off Jacksonville’s P-squad in September. 

In 2026, Rucci has appeared in six games for the Chargers and recorded one reception for seven yards and a touchdown.
