Chargers Add Defensive Lineman Nesta Jade Silvera Amid Roster Changes

Los Angeles Chargers bolster their defensive line by signing free-agent defensive lineman Nesta Jade Silvera. The team also announced the injury-related release of defensive tackle Josh Fuga, who was injured during Saturday's practice. Silvera, a 6'2", 304-pound player, was a seventh-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023 and has spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and briefly with the Green Bay Packers after the 2024 season. He played college football at Arizona State and Miami University, accumulating 10 tackles over two NFL seasons in nine games. With offseason acquisitions like Da'Shawn Hand and Naquan Jones, Silvera is expected to serve as a depth option during training camp.
