On Tuesday, the Chargers announced that they signed wide receiver Joe Reed to a Reserve/Future deal.
Reed, the team’s fifth-round pick of the 2020 NFL draft, spent this past season on the practice squad/injured reserve list after dealing with an ankle issue that he sustained in training camp.
In his rookie season, Reed appeared in 11 games and carried the ball five times for 29 yards and a touchdown.
By signing Reed to this deal, it gives Los Angeles offensive depth with a gadget player who’s capable of catching and running the football as well as returning kicks.
The Chargers have now signed 12 players to future contracts, as the team previously announced they had signed Michael Bandy, Andre Brown, Cole Christiansen, Ben DeLuca, Emeke Egbule, Maurice Ffrench, Ryan Hunter, Hunter Kampmoyer, Forrest Merrill, Jason Moore, Foster Sarell.
