On Tuesday, they signed their fourth long snapper in the last two weeks, all since Binn went on season-ending injured reserve with a hamstring problem.
Veteran Ethan Albright is the team's newest long snapper. He was signed along with safety Quinton Teal and cornerback Dante Hughes as the Chargers moved to shore up special teams while also addressing injury-related roster issues. To clear roster room for the additions, the Chargers waived running back Curtis Brinkley and placed linebacker James Holt (shoulder) and long snapper Ryan Neill (knee) on injured reserve.
Albright is a 16-year veteran long snapper who made the Pro Bowl in 2007 while with the Washington Redskins. He also has spent time with Green Bay, Miami and Buffalo, breaking into the league as a member of the Packers practice squad in 1994.
After Binn's injury in the season opener, the Chargers signed James Dearth, but he hurt his foot during one of his first practices and had to go on injured reserve. Neill snapped for the Chargers in Week 2 and Week 3 but was injured during last Sunday's 27-20 loss at Seattle, leading to the signing of Albright. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
