Chargers claim pair of players off waivers

The Chargers added a safety and defensive tackle.

The Chargers announced their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, but that didn’t mean it was set in stone ahead of the 2021 regular season.

Today, Los Angeles added two more players to the squad, claiming safety Trey Marshall and defensive tackle Eric Banks off the waivers.

Marshall, a former undrafted free agent out of Florida State, spent the last three seasons with the Broncos. In that time, he appeared in 30 games with Denver, only two of which he started, while the majority of his playing time came on special teams.

Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Rams last season, Banks didn’t appear in any games. Prior to that, he amassed 81 tackles (52 solo), 20.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, three pass breakups, one fumble recovery and five forced fumbles in 48 games at UTSA.
