Chargers sign two-time Super Bowl champion to practice squad
Following a 26-14 defeat against the Arizona Cardinals to kick off Jim Harbaugh's third season at the helm, the Los Angeles Chargers are overhauling their receiver options due to a rash of injuries. Ladd McConkey is listed as day-to-day with a rib issue ahead of a clash with the Las Vegas Raiders, while return specialist Derius Davis also remains day-to-day with an unspecified ailment.
Furthermore, rookie pass catcher KeAndre Lambert-Smith landed on injured reserve after sustaining a hamstring injury, opening a spot for veteran Gary Jennings to join the 53-man roster.
To provide additional depth, the franchise worked out and signed two-time Super Bowl champion Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad. The seasoned target, who spent the summer in training camp with the Dallas Cowboys, enters with career totals of 219 catches, 3,686 receiving yards, and 21 touchdowns to aid quarterback Justin Herbert.
