COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to terms with safety Jaylen Watkins on a one-year deal, keeping him in the fold for the 2019 season, sources confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.
The NFL Network first reported the news.
A possible candidate to earn a starting job at free safety last season, Watkins suffered a torn ACL during a preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks when teammate Melvin Ingram fell on his right leg.
The 27-year-old Watkins, who had signed a one-year deal with the Chargers prior to last season, spent the entire year on injured reserve.
