Egbule (illness) was placed on the Chargers' practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, per the NFL's official transactions log, and he tested positive for the virus, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Egbule has appeared in three games for the Chargers this season, recording two tackles. He'll work to clear COVID protocols, so he can get back on the field and be ready if needed on the active roster again.

Egbule was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports. A sixth-round pick back in 2019, Egbule played just 56 defensive snaps over the past two seasons, instead operating primarily in a special teams capacity. Given his familiarity with the team, it's possible the 24-year-old could return via the practice squad.

The Chargers selected Egbule in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 200th overall. Egbule is considered more of an athlete than refined prospect, but he's nonetheless a respectable dart throw for the Chargers this late in the draft given his potential both as a pass rusher and in coverage. The Houston product should have decent odds of carving out a depth role at outside linebacker behind Jatavis Brown, Thomas Davis and Kyzir White.
