The Los Angeles Chargers have officially placed veteran offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga on the injured reserve with a back injury, and is eligible to return in three weeks.
In correspondence, L.A. signed Michael Schofield.
Los Angeles lost Bulaga to a back injury in the third quarter of the regular season opener against Washington.
Signed last offseason, Bulaga was expected to be the heart and soul on a fairly inexperienced offensive line but instead, he spent the majority of the season on the sidelines – making 10 starts, only playing 37.87% of the offensive snaps.
Schofield, 30, has appeared in 87 career games with 69 starts. He started all 16 games for the Chargers in 2018 and 2019.
Following his two stints with the Bolts, Schofield went on to play for the Panthers and Ravens.
Barring any changes, Storm Norton will still likely get the start at right tackle this weekend against the Cowboys.
