The Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly set to release wide receiver Stevie Johnson on Tuesday in a cost-cutting move.
Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune was the first to report the news and added it will save L.A. $3.5 million. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo confirmed the move.
Johnson missed the entire 2016 season because of a meniscus tear.
The 30-year-old veteran last appeared in a regular-season game in a 2015 campaign that saw him register 45 receptions for 497 yards and three touchdowns in 10 contests for the Chargers.
