Los Angeles Chargers Sign Defensive End Clelin Ferrell

After working out with the team on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Chargers have officially signed defensive end Clelin Ferrell. The move comes following an injury to Khalil Mack, who has been placed on injured reserve due to an elbow injury.

Ferrell, a former fourth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders, brings a wealth of experience to the Chargers. Over the course of his career, he has played 89 games (57 starts) across three different teams: the Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, and Washington Commanders.

In his career, Ferrell has accumulated 159 tackles, 17 sacks, and forced 4 fumbles. Last season, while playing for the Washington Commanders, he recorded 26 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in 14 games (10 starts).

Ferrell started his professional journey with the Oakland Raiders, playing for the team from 2019 to 2022. His most recent stint was with the Washington Commanders, where he played last season before being released on August 26.

The terms of Ferrell's deal with the Los Angeles Chargers were not disclosed, and specific details about the contract are not available at this time. However, the signing is significant, as it adds depth to the Chargers' defensive line in the wake of Mack's injury.

Ferrell's position is defensive end, and while his career statistics do not yet include his performance with the Chargers, he is eager to make an impact in his new home. The contract between the Los Angeles Chargers and Ferrell was officially signed in May 2023.

As the Chargers prepare for the upcoming season, the addition of Ferrell adds a new dimension to their defensive strategy. With his experience and proven track record, Ferrell is poised to contribute significantly to the team's success.
