| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - San Diego Chargers offensive tackle Marcus McNeill came to terms on a lucrative five-year contract Wednesday.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection ended his lengthy holdout September 25 by signing his one-year, $630,000 tender contract. McNeill missed San Diego's first two regular season games w |

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The San Diego Chargers are on their fifth long snapper of the season. The Chargers signed rookie Mike Windt and released Ethan Albright on Wednesday, three days after having two punts blocked in a 35-27 loss at Oakland. One blocked punt bounced through the end zone for a safety and the other was returned for a touchdown, helping Oakland to a quick 12-0 lead. Windt went to training camp with the Cincinnati Bengals and was released in late August. Albright snapped in the last two games for |

| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - The San Diego Chargers took a step towards divorcing themselves from linebacker Shawne Merriman on Wednesday. The franchise placed the six-year veteran on injured reserve with a minor- injury designation, meaning that when the team and Merriman agree he is recovered from a bothersome calf issue, he will be released and will be able to sign with any team as a free agent. "I have been blessed to call San Diego my home for the past six years," Merriman said in a statement. "I can't |

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The San Diego Chargers have turned out the lights on the player known as ``Lights Out.'' Outside linebacker Shawne Merriman, once one of the most-feared players in the NFL, was placed on the injured reserve list with a calf injury and a ``minor-injury designation'' on Wednesday. Merriman must be released once he's healthy, the team said. Technically, the Chargers could re-sign the controversial player. That almost certainly won't happen, though, because general manager A.J. Smith hasn't be |

Coach Steve Spagnuolo was non-committal about Alexander's chances of playing against the San Diego Chargers. Alexander is on the roster. He replaces Mark Clayton, who was placed on injured reserve with a torn patella tendon in his right knee.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The San Diego Chargers have signed receiver Richard Goodman from the practice squad to the active roster. The addition of Goodman apparently is an attempt to shore up the Chargers' porous special teams. Goodman played well during the exhibition season as a kickoff returner and on kick coverage. The Chargers have given up two kickoff returns and one punt return for touchdowns this season. They also had two punts blocked in a loss at Oakland on Sunday, with one bouncing through the end zone |

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - After winning 13 straight games against the Oakland Raiders, the San Diego Chargers gave one away to their AFC West rivals.
