The Los Angeles Chargers are signing veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday. The move comes as the team looks to replenish a receiving corps that has been depleted following a loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Valdes-Scantling, 31, entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft choice out of USF in 2018. He brings experience to a Chargers team that has been searching for depth at the position.
The signing was first reported by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who cited a source. The Chargers have not yet officially announced the move.
For local fans, the addition of Valdes-Scantling provides a proven veteran option as the team navigates the early portion of the season. His experience and familiarity with NFL competition could prove valuable as the Chargers manage their roster depth.
