The Chargers could be adding another piece to their defense.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, former Patriots linebacker is visiting Los Angeles on Thursday.

Rapoport adds that there’s a good chance Van Noy signs if all goes well during his visit.

In March, Van Noy was released by New England, ending his second tenure with the team after just one season. Before that, the Dolphins cut ties with him just one year after signing him to a four-year contract in free agency.

Van Noy joined the Patriots via trade during the 2016 season, and he won two Super Bowls with them.

In 16 games last year, Van Noy recorded 66 total tackles (42 solo) and five sacks with an interception returned for a touchdown, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

Van Noy began his career with the Lions after being drafted out of BYU in 2014.
