Overview
- Patrick Herbert was waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars during roster cutdowns and cleared waivers before signing with the Los Angeles Chargers’ practice squad on Monday.
- NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo said Herbert had multiple offers but chose the Chargers in part to join his brother, quarterback Justin Herbert.
- Herbert entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 draft, spent his rookie year on Jacksonville’s practice squad and has no regular-season catches.
- The Chargers already have veterans Charlie Kolar, Oronde Gadsden and David Njoku on the roster, which makes immediate playing time for Herbert unlikely.
- The brothers’ shared history at Oregon, including the 2019 Rose Bowl run, may speed Herbert’s acclimation to the Chargers and could make him a near-term candidate for elevation if injuries or roster changes create a need.
