Chargers work out 4 players before making decision at long snapper
The Chargers ultimately signed long snapper Spencer Triplett after working out four players ahead of Week 3.
The Los Angeles Chargers evaluated four players, including long snapper Spencer Triplett, before ultimately adding him to their practice squad, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim on X. Triplett's inclusion follows the team's promotion of Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the active roster, after the Chargers placed tight end David Njoku on injured reserve.
Njoku's absence will span at least the next four weeks, with his return anticipated when the Chargers face the Rams in Week 8. Triplett, who comes into the Chargers as a rookie, brings six years of experience from his college days at North Carolina, where he contributed significantly in 2023, converting 22 out of 24 field-goals and all 51 extra-point attempts.
Triplett had been on the Patrick Mannelly Award Watch List for the past season, a list that honors the best long snapper in college football annually. This development was initially reported by ESPN and subsequently featured in an article on Chargers Wire.
