The Chargers made a roster move on Monday.
Los Angeles signed defensive tackle Christian Covington to the active roster from the practice squad. In correspondence, Breiden Fehoko was waived.
Covington spent 2021 with the Bolts, appearing in 16 games with three starts. He totaled 52 tackles, three tackles for loss, and a sack.
Signed last offseason, Covington was a reliable rotational interior defender.
Meanwhile, Fehoko was with the Chargers since 2020. He primarily spent time on the practice squad, but Fehoko appeared in 10 games with one start in the past two seasons.
Fehoko faced an uphill battle to make the roster after the defensive tackle room was reconstructed this offseason. But his efforts showed up every day, playing with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
According to head coach Brandon Staley, the hope is to get Fehoko back on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
