After landing Austin Joseph, the Chargers continue to bolster the defensive line.
According to ESPN’s Chris Carlin, Los Angeles is expected to sign former Rams defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day.
Joseph-Day is familiar with head coach Brandon Staley, making this an intriguing pairing. When Staley oversaw the Rams’ top-ranked defense, he had a career-high 33 run stops, two passes defended, and a forced fumble.
He was on his way to surpassing those in 2021, but an unfortunate torn pectoral sustained in Week 7 kept him out.
Still, with a combination of speed, power, and violent hands, Joseph-Day can win one-on-one matchups and eat-up blockers to let his fellow teammates roam freely.
Further, Joseph-Day has 55 defensive stops since 2020, tied for 15th. Every other player in the Top 15 has at least 1,000 snaps over the span, he’s put up 55 stops on just 728 snaps, per Pro Football Focus.
