Chargers' Christian Covington: Signed off practice squad

The Chargers signed Covington to the team's active roster Monday.

Covington played a significant role on the Chargers' defensive line last season, recording 52 tackles and one sack over 16 games. The 28-year-old should now slot in as the team's backup nose tackle behind Austin Johnson, who joined the Bolts on a two-year, $14 million deal in March.
