Jake Browning signs with Los Angeles Chargers after Buccaneers stint

Jake Browning, Washington's all-time leading passer, has signed with the Los Angeles Chargers following a preseason loss of his backup quarterback position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Browning reportedly declined a practice squad offer from the Buccaneers as he sought other opportunities in the NFL. He is expected to join the Chargers' practice squad as an emergency option after quarterback Trey Lance was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury. Browning's performance in a tryout helped him secure the spot over former Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask. The Chargers are currently struggling, sitting at 0-5, with quarterback Justin Herbert taking hits amid an injury-riddled offensive line.
