The Chargers signed tight end McCallan Castles to the practice squad, the team announced.
In correspondence, Los Angeles released linebacker Blake Lynch from the practice squad.
The addition of Castles comes in wake of Hayden Hurst’s groin injury he sustained in the Week 6 game against the Broncos.
The Chargers hosted Castles on a visit during the pre-draft process this year.
Castles signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee.
Castles spent two seasons at California, three seasons with UC Davis and his final year with the Volunteers.
For his entire career, Castles played in 45 college games with 29 starts and had 91 catches for 1,226 yards and 14 touchdowns.
