Report: Chargers release WR Dontrelle Inman off IR, goes unclaimed

Wide receiver Dontrelle Inman, who was released off injured reserve on Monday, cleared waivers on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Chargers released wide receiver Dontrelle Inman off injured reserve on Monday, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

Inman entered waivers, where teams could claim him. But no one did, which means that he will enter free agency, where he can sign with any NFL team.

Inman went on the IR after sustaining a quad injury in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins — it marked his biggest game this season as he caught five passes for 76 yards. In his four games played, he posted eight receptions for 132 yards.

The Chargers signed Inman prior to the 2019 regular season to shore up a thin wide receiver group, but he wasn’t able to stay healthy after starting to breakout.

But when he appeared to be ready to go after six weeks of being on the injured reserve, the team was already confident with what they have and elected to go their separate ways.
