There will be some new faces on the field when the Chargers return to practice today as the team signed WR Marcus Peterson and CB Channing Stribling on Thursday. To make room, the team placed CB Jason Verrett and TE Austin Roberts on the Reserve/Injured list.
Peterson is a 5-11, 188-pound Seton Hall product who most recently played for the Iowa Barnstormers of the Indoor Football League. Prior to joining Iowa, he played wide receiver and defensive back for the Derby Braves in the European Football League.”
