  "account": "Minneapolis, MN - August 21: Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jake Browning has inked a deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. Browning, a former undrafted free agent, spent his early NFL career on the Vikings' practice squad before moving to Cincinnati Bengals in 2022. Despite a brief stint as a starter in Cincinnati, he struggled with the Bengals, posting a 4-3 record over seven appearances in 2023. Browning's standout season came in 2022, where he led the Bengals to a 4-3 record during his seven starts, throwing for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. He also recorded three rushing touchdowns. However, in 2025, Browning's performance dipped, as he threw 8 interceptions and 6 touchdowns in three starts for the Bengals, resulting in no wins.

With limited roster depth, it appears that Browning will likely be the first man off the bench should Herbert suffer an injury.",
