After being part of the Chargers’ final cuts on Tuesday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport (via his agent David Canter) is reporting that defensive tackle Chrisitian Covington is expected to return to the team’s practice squad.
Covington lost out on a roster spot amongst the team’s initial 53 as Brandon Staley and his staff likely believed Breiden Fehoko was not going to make it through waivers if given that chance.
The veteran is still expected to be a key role player amongst the team’s interior and will almost certainly be a game day activation candidate every week that he remains on the practice squad.
