Default Chargers add McKinney

The San Diego Chargers signed rookie defensive tackle Brandon McKinney to the active roster today. McKinney has been a member of the team’s practice squad since the start of the season. The 6-2, 324 rookie was originally signed as a free agent from Michigan State.

McKinney fills the vacancy on the roster left by the four-game suspension of linebacker Shawne Merriman.

I really like this kid. I think that he's our guy at DT after "The Wall" calls it quits.

Sweet Jesus! 324 lbs? Is he gonna be backing up Jamal, or clogging 1/3 of that line in Luis' spot?

He'll be lucky to be on the active 45 man roster tomorrow.

Just because a player moves off of the practice squad onto the 53 man roster doesn't mean that he's going to play. I'd hope that the Chargers aren't that thin and banged up that they were forced to move a player off the practice squad into playing significant minutes a day before a critical game.

I wonder if he has lost any weight. He was too heavy coming into the draft, which affected his agility. If he has lost 15-20 lbs. to gain agility, AJ might have gotten a real diamond in the rough.

I figured they'd bring in another defensive end. I know Castillo is out, and I thought Robinson was too. That leaves Igor, Cesaire, and nobody else, right?

Robinson will play.

Anyone coming off the practice squad is merely adding depth to the 53 man roster. He's unlikely to play.
