  20D ago • By RotoWire

  The Chargers signed Jefferson to their practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Jefferson had a strong finish to the preseason with two picks against the Cowboys this past Saturday, but he was unable to make the Chargers' 53-man roster in a depth secondary role. He last saw NFL action with the Giants in 2022, when he accumulated 23 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defended across nine regular-season contests.

  The Chargers released Jefferson on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jefferson signed with the Chargers in June and finished the preseason strong with two interceptions against the Cowboys this past Saturday, but it wasn't enough for him to survive the roster cuts. He's expected to stick around with the organization and re-sign with the Chargers as a member of the practice squad.

  Jefferson will not practice Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Jefferson was signed from the Giants' practice squad to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 5 win over the Packers, and he recorded four tackles across 13 defensive snaps -- both season highs. However, he presumably picked up an injury during the contest as well and will be in danger of missing Week 6 if he doesn't return to practice Thursday or Friday.

• Giants' Tony Jefferson: Signed off practice squad

  10/09/2022 • By RotoWire

  The Giants signed Jefferson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Jefferson was elevated to the active roster in Week 1 and Week 2 and logged a total of 19 snaps between the two games. He may be in for a larger role now that he's been signed to the active roster, as he's been working with the first-team defense during practice, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Jefferson has ample NFL experience with 101 career games under his belt, but he hasn't been a major contributor since 2018 with Baltimore.
