Report: Los Angeles Chargers signing DE Clelin Ferrell
Defensive end Clelin Ferrell is signing with the Los Angeles Chargers following Khalil Mack‘s elbow injury in Monday’s win over the Los Angeles Raiders, per insider Jordan Schultz. Ferrell was selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and has played six NFL seasons with three teams.
In 88 games, Ferrell boasts 158 tackles, 24 TFL, 16 sacks and four forced fumbles. He worked out for the team on Tuesday and was signed on Thursday.

He committed to Clemson out of high school, where he’d play from 2015-2018. As a Tiger, he won National Championships in 2016 and 2018 and was named a two-time All-American.
