San Diego Chargers look to sign veteran linebacker as injuries mount

With Manti Te'o having missed two weeks of practice, and now rookie Denzel Perryman injured, the Chargers are looking to sign a veteran to fill the gap.

Manti Te'o hasn't practiced in two weeks and has missed two straight games. His replacement, 2nd round pick Denzel Perryman has a strained arm muscle (confirmed by MRI this morning). Combine that with the poor play of healthy starter Donald Butler, and the Chargers need help at ILB.

With #Chargers dealing with injuries at ILB, source said team is expected to sign veteran ILB Joe Mays.
