TOUCH DOWN A FEW MINUTES AGO: Los Angeles Chargers Sign Elijah Ellis to Bolster Offensive Line Depth
The Los Angeles Chargers made a strategic roster move just moments ago, officially signing offensive lineman Elijah Ellis in a bid to strengthen their depth and protection unit heading into training camp.
Ellis, a former standout at Texas Tech, went undrafted but has impressed scouts with his size, agility, and versatility across the offensive front. At 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, he brings a physical presence and raw potential that the Chargers coaching staff hopes to develop within their offensive scheme.
Sources within the organization indicate that Ellis will initially compete for a backup tackle position but could see increased reps depending on performance during preseason activities. With injuries having hampered the Chargers’ O-line in past seasons, the addition of Ellis is seen as both a proactive and promising move.
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but insiders describe it as a standard rookie contract with performance incentives.
