EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers center Tyler Biadasz was placed on injured reserve after he injured his left knee in a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Chargers signed wide receiver Gary Jennings on Sunday to fill the roster spot.

Biadasz went down after 49ers defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez fell into his leg during an 11-on-11 drill and was carted off the field.

He signed with the Chargers in March shortly after he was released by the Washington Commanders.

Biadasz has started 84 regular-season games and seven playoff games over his career with Washington and Dallas. The Cowboys drafted the former Wisconsin standout in the fourth round of the 2020 draft.

The Chargers wrap up their preseason on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams.

‘Dream within a dream’ for pass rusher Von Miller to join his hometown Dallas Cowboys

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Growing up in the suburbs of Dallas, Von Miller's parents were an embodiment of the “love ‘em or hate ’em” reaction the Cowboys create in seemingly every NFL fan. One of his formative memories was seeing his father celebrating the Cowboys' success watching a game on TV. His mother, however, is not a fan. "This should be the first year where everybody’s unified on one team, so it’s pretty cool to have everybody in blue,” Miller said at an introductory news conference after signing a one-year contract that could be worth up to $7.5 million with his hometown team on Tuesday, with the 37-year-old standout pass rusher hoping to return them to their Super Bowl-winning heights of his childhood. Miller had previous conversations about joining the Cowboys, including after claiming his second Lombardi Trophy with the Los Angeles Rams following the 2021 season. He ended up signing with the Buffalo Bills, where he spent three years, before joining the Washington Commanders last season. This time around, everything lined up.
