The San Diego Chargers need some help at left tackle with King Dunlap on the sideline with a neck strain. While he is out, the Chargers will have D.J. Fluker starting at left tackle and Jeromey Clary sliding over to right tackle from the right guard position. With Dunlap on the side, the Chargers need some depth on the offensive line, so they signed Kenny Wiggins off of the practice squad.

Wiggins is a 6-foot-6. 314 pound tackle out of Fresno State . He has been on the roster for the San Francisco 49ers and was on the Chargers practice squad. With the Chargers signing Wiggins off of the practice squad, Nick Becton was released off of the roster and the team might be looking to bring him back onto the practice squad.

Hopefully the Chargers will not need Wiggins this weekend. Happy to have him as a backup on the roster, but I would rather keep some guys healthy enough to play for the whole game.
