The Los Angeles Chargers reportedly sign tight end Patrick Herbert to their practice squad. Multiple reports say the move involves Herbert, the brother of quarterback Justin Herbert.
The Oregonian reports that Patrick Herbert joins Justin Herbert on the Chargers’ practice squad after he is released by the Jacksonville Jaguars a day earlier. The outlet also notes that Patrick Herbert played college football at Oregon alongside his quarterback brother, establishing a shared football background before both reach the NFL.
Yahoo Sports frames the development as the Chargers signing Patrick Herbert, emphasizing his connection to Justin Herbert, while other details are consistent with the timing and the fact that the signing follows Jacksonville’s release. The reports collectively indicate a recent roster change rather than a trade or a new active-roster signing, with Patrick Herbert beginning with the Chargers’ practice squad.
