The Chargers signed wide receiver Andre Patton to their 53-man roster on Saturday.
To make room for Patton, Los Angeles released linebacker Chris Peace from the active roster.
With WR Mike Williams dealing with a knee injury and Geremy Davis listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, Los Angeles was in need of more pass-catching depth.
Patton made a noteworthy case in preseason, hauling in six passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns in three games.
It’s uncertain whether or not Williams and Davis will play on Sunday, but if they don’t, Patton, Travis Benjamin and Dontrelle Inman will have expanded roles, especially with the absence of tight end Hunter Henry (knee).
