The Chargers signed cornerback Eli Apple to the practice squad.
The addition of Apple comes after Asante Samuel Jr. was placed on injured reserve last week, and Kristian Fulton and Deane Leonard exited the Week 6 win over the Broncos with their respective injuries.
Apple played with the Dolphins during the 2023 season. He began his career with the Giants, who selected him with the No. 10 pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft. He was there until 2018, with the Saints from 2018 to 2019, with the Panthers for 2020 and the Bengals from 2021 and 2022.
In 98 games (82 starts), Apple has 381 tackles, three forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries, 60 pass deflections and six interceptions.
