Chargers sign safety Jahleel Addae to practice squad

The Los Angeles Chargers are bringing back a familiar face.

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed safety Jahleel Addae to their practice squad.

Addae spent his first six seasons with the Chargers after signing with the team as an undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan in 2013. In six seasons with the Bolts, he compiled 372 tackles, 21 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, and two interceptions.

Addae was released by L.A. last offseason, and was then signed by the Texans afterwards, where he started three games. In 16 contests, he amassed 45 tackles, three passes defensed and two interceptions.

The decision to bring back Addae comes after Rayshawn Jenkins suffered an injury last Sunday against the Chiefs, and the playing time this weekend for Desmond King looms after he voiced his displeasure in his playing time from the past couple of weeks.

Addae supplies depth at both safety positions, but he is geared more for the strong safety spot.

Report: Mutual interest between Chargers, safety Jahleel Addae

The Chargers could be eyeing a reunion with Jahleel Addae.

The Chargers could possibly bring back a familiar face.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, there’s mutual interest between Los Angeles and safety Jahleel Addae.

This comes after star safety Derwin James injured his meniscus, leaving his 2020 campaign in jeopardy.

Addae spent six seasons with the Bolts before being released last offseason, where he played the strong safety position with the exception of his last year with the team, as he played free safety.

Addae spent last season with the Texans, posting 45 tackles and two interceptions.

The Chargers could go about filling the void in a variety of ways, including utilizing their in-house options. But the team could be eyeing a reunion with Addae to do so.
