Chargers Add Njoku, Cut Jennings Ahead of Season
8 Sep
Summary
- Chargers signed cornerback Isas Waxter to practice squad.
- Wide receiver Gary Jennings was released from the practice squad.
- David Njoku was acquired via NFL Free Agency from the Browns.
As the 2026 NFL season approaches, the Los Angeles Chargers have made a key practice squad move. The team announced on Monday, September 7, 2026, that they have signed cornerback Isas Waxter to the practice squad. Concurrently, wide receiver Gary Jennings was released from the practice squad.
Despite these changes, the Chargers' offense remains potent. Quarterback Justin Herbert has a strong receiving corps, notably featuring Ladd McConkey, entering his third season. The team also bolstered their tight end position by acquiring Pro Bowl talent David Njoku through NFL Free Agency from the Cleveland Browns. Njoku will now catch passes from Herbert, a more decorated quarterback.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh continues to emphasize the team's resilience, though Herbert carries a winless postseason record into the season, a mark they aim to improve upon starting with their Week 1 opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
