Former Texans kicker Nick Novak rejoined the Los Angeles Chargers as the team cut struggling kicker Younghoe Koo.

Novak had a previous stint with the Chargers when they were in San Diego.

He was released before this season when the Texans went with Ka'imi Fairbairn as his replacement.

Novak connected on a franchise-record 35 field goals and tied for second in the NFL for the most field goals last season.

Novak has made 93 percent of his field goals inside 50 yards over the past five seasons and connected on 57 percent of his kicks from 50 yards or longer.
