After the Chargers looked to be reshaping their entire defensive interior, it seems as though they’re bringing back a familiar face after all.
According to Mike Garafolo, defensive tackle Christian Covington is returning to the Bolts for a second year.
This past season, Covington played in 16 games with starts and recorded a career-high 52 tackles with three tackles for loss, a lone sack, and a forced fumble. The 28-year old was a former sixth-round pick of the Texans out of Rice back in 2015. He played in Houston for three seasons before spending short stints with the Cowboys, Broncos, and Bengals.
