Chargers activate OT Spencer Drango, waive LS Matt Overton

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

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.

Chargers OT Russell Okung downgraded to doubtful

Chargers offensive tackle Russell Okung is set to miss Monday’s bout with the Chiefs.

Chargers offensive tackle Russell Okung is set to miss Monday’s bout with the Chiefs.

Okung was listed as questionable on Saturday with the groin injury that knocked him out of last Thursday’s contest against the Raiders. He appears to not be making any progress, however.

Okung has been downgraded to doubtful, which means Los Angeles expects him to miss their Week 11 matchup.

With Okung out, rookie Trey Pipkins will get the start at left tackle. Meanwhile, Trent Scott will start opposite of Pipkins in place of Sam Tevi, who is dealing with a knee injury.

There are no other players behind Pipkins and Scott, so look for the Chargers to call up Spencer Drango from the practice squad to add depth at the position.

Linebacker Drue Tranquill has officially been listed as questionable with a calf injury. He was limited in practice on Saturday.
