Chargers Sign Dexter McCluster

Sep 20, 2016 4:38 PM

The San Diego Chargers have signed Dexter McCluster.

San Diego lost Danny Woodhead to a torn ACL in Week 2.

McCluster makes sense for the Chargers because of his familiarity with the team's offensive scheme from his time with the Tennessee Titans when San Diego offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt served as that team's head coach.
