The Los Angeles Chargers secondary has been hit with multiple injuries all season. Nearly every starter has missed time due to injury. The latest are injuries to cornerbacks Eli Apple, Cam Hart, and safety Alohi Gilman.
Chargers Move Apple To IR, Sign Maye
On Wednesday afternoon, the team announced they were moving Apple to injured reserve, while the LA Times’ Thuc Nhi Nguyen reported that both Hart and Gilman did not practice with the team. Hart missed the team’s game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion/ankle. Gilman was injured in that game.
In an attempt to put a band-aid, the temas claimed former Miami Dolphins safety Marcus Maye off waivers.
Maye was a second-round pick in the 2017 draft where he was picked by the New York Jets. He played with the Jets for five seasons before signing with the New Orleans Saints. After two years with the Saints, he signed with the Dolphins, where he has been for the last two seasons.
Maye has been featured heavily over the last four games. In limited playing time this season, Maye has combined for 30 tackles, including a tackle for loss and he has forced a fumble.
The Chargers also have safeties Tony Jefferson, Emany Johnson, and Kendall Williamson, as well as, cornerbacks, Dicaprio Bootle and Shaun Wade on their practice squad.
