  "account": "Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning is reportedly joining the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a Twitter/X report by Tom Pelissero. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers terminated Browning's contract in late August. In March, the Buccaneers signed Browning, who became a free agent after the 2025 season. Over the past three seasons with the Bengals, Browning appeared in 17 games, starting 10 of them. The Bengals and Chargers are not set to face each other during the 2026 regular season. Chargers' starting quarterback Justin Herbert has had a challenging season, recording 937 passing yards, five touchdowns, and seven interceptions in their first five games, all of which were losses. Herbert's backup is DJ Uiagalelei. Trevor Lance was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury. In October 2025, Browning expressed frustration about being benched for Joe Flacco, but stated he would deal with the adversity in the appropriate manner as the team began to rely on Flacco in Week 6 against Green Bay.",
