Report: Chargers re-sign Will Clapp

The Chargers locked up their backup center.

The Chargers re-signed center Will Clapp on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Clapp was signed by Los Angeles last offseason after four seasons with the Saints. A seventh-round pick of the 2018 NFL draft out of LSU, Clapp appeared in 34 games, seven being starts.

Clapp started three games while Corey Linsley was out with a knee injury and a concussion. He was strong in pass protection, allowing just four pressures on 252 pass-blocking snaps.

With Clapp staying in the blue and gold, the Chargers have their backup center to Linsley locked up through the upcoming season.
