Chargers' Ty Long: Relieved of kicking duties
After the Los Angeles Chargers signed Chase McLaughlin, Ty Long will no longer serve as the team's kicker, Gavino Borquez of USA Today reports.Long was a decent placeholder for the first four games with Michael Badgley (groin) out, connecting on seven of nine field-goal attempts and all nine extra points. Long's a punter, though, so McLaughlin was brought in to take over as the placekicker for the duration of Badgley's injury.

Chargers' Ty Long: Posts perfect afternoon
Ty Long converted all three of his extra-point attempts and his lone field-goal attempt in the 30-24 overtime victory Sunday over the Colts.Shockingly, the former CFL two-way specialist dramatically outplayed his someday Hall of Fame counterpart, Adam Vinatieri, posting a perfect kicking performance in relief of Michael Badgley (groin). As a result, Long, the Los Angeles Chargers' nominal punter, became the first specialist since 2011 to have a punt, field goal and extra point in the same game. The Chargers certainly weren't nervous to use Long, either, which should give fantasy owners some confidence if Badgley's injury continues to be a nuisance.
