The Chargers made a roster move ahead of their matchup against the Chiefs.

Los Angeles called up offensive tackle Spencer Drango from the practice squad. In a corresponding move, the team waived long snapped Matt Overton.

With Russell Okung and Sam Tevi out from tonight’s game, there isn’t anyone behind Trey Pipkins and Trent Scott on the depth chart.

Drango joined the Chargers last season after spending two seasons with the Browns. He’s primarily been a practice squad player since his arrival.

Overton’s release indicates that starting long snapper Cole Mazza will play. Mazza dealt with an illness this past week at practice.

There wasn’t an announcement on safety Adrian Phillips, which means he will not be activated this week.

The Los Angeles Chargers made a roster move ahead of Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chargers announced that they have signed long snapper Matt Overton to the 53-man roster. In a corresponding move, defensive tackle Cortez Broughton was placed on the non-football illness list.

The Bolts are without their starting long snapper Cole Mazza, who missed Thursday’s practice due to an illness.

Overton spent the last two seasons with the Jaguars. Prior to his stint with Jacksonville, he played with the Colts for five seasons. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2013.

Broughton, the team’s seventh-round selection, appeared in two games this season and had five tackles.
