    • Geathers was expected to be the primary backup at nose tackle behind Sean Lissemore this season, but instead will be placed on injured reserve after being carted off the field Sunday with a knee injury against the 49ers. Rookie fifth-round pick Ryan Carrethers will take on the role of backup nose tackle in his place.

    The Chargers also placed guard Jeromey Clary on the Reserve-Physically Unable to Perform list and released cornerback Brandon Ghee. The Chargers signed Ghee to a two-year deal this past off-season, but after an unimpressive training camp and the increased depth at cornerback there just wasn’t a need to keep Ghee anymore.

    Expect the Chargers to continue to add to the roster in the next few days, as the Chargers need to add depth to their defensive line. The Chargers took a step towards this yesterday by claiming defensive end Joe Kruger off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles.
