Chargers sign LS Matt Overton, place Cortez Broughton on NFI

The Los Angeles Chargers made a roster move ahead of Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chargers announced that they have signed long snapper Matt Overton to the 53-man roster. In a corresponding move, defensive tackle Cortez Broughton was placed on the non-football illness list.

The Bolts are without their starting long snapper Cole Mazza, who missed Thursday’s practice due to an illness.

Overton spent the last two seasons with the Jaguars. Prior to his stint with Jacksonville, he played with the Colts for five seasons. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2013.

Broughton, the team’s seventh-round selection, appeared in two games this season and had five tackles.
