Story summary

The Los Angeles Chargers signed tight end Hayden Rucci from the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad on Tuesday to address injuries to their tight ends, with both David Njoku and Charlie Kolar being placed on injured reserve. Rucci has played in just four NFL games, recording only a tackle on special teams while an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin after playing for the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, and San Francisco 49ers last season. The Chargers are struggling this season, starting with two losses despite opening their previous two seasons with wins. They have also faced injury issues affecting over half of their free-agent signings. Additionally, the team waived wide receiver Gary Jennings to make room for Rucci on the active roster.
