Chargers sign former All-Pro safety to practice squad

The Chargers added a ballhawking safety to their practice squad.

The Chargers signed safety Eddie Jackson to the practice squad on Monday.

In correspondence, Los Angeles released running back John Kelly from the practice squad.

The acquisition of Jackson came in wake of safety Marcus Maye being placed on injured reserve.

Jackson recently played with the Ravens before being released a month ago. In nine games with Baltimore, Jackson recorded 30 tackles with a pass defended.

A fourth-round selection out of Alabama by the Bears in 2017, Jackson started all 100 games he appeared in over seven seasons. He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and earned All-Pro honors in 2018.

Throughout his pro career, Jackson has totaled 15 interceptions, 45 passes defended, 10 forced fumbles and 489 tackles. He is tied for third in Bears franchise history with six career defensive touchdowns.
