The Chargers signed cornerback Brandon Facyson, defensive tackle Forrest Merrill and wide receiver Austin Proehl to the practice squad on Thursday.
Facyson and Merrill were waived to make room for safety Trey Marshall and defensive lineman Eric Banks on the 53-man roster on Wednesday.
The addition of the three brings the practice squad to 15 players, which means that Los Angeles has one remaining spot to fill.
Facyson was seen as a likely candidate to make the roster heading into the summer, but the coaching staff chose the versatility and special teams upside of Kemon Hall, Tevaughn Campbell and Marshall to round out the secondary.
Merrill made the initial cut, but the coaches felt like Banks was more of the type of defensive lineman that they wanted, which is why they made the tough decision to waive the undrafted free agent out of Arkansas even after a promising preseason.
Proehl started training camp on a strong note as a return specialist, but the Chargers ultimately decided to keep K.J. Hill. If Hill was to get hurt at any point during the season or he underperforms, there’s a possibility that Proehl could be promoted.
