Falcons sign former Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark

The Atlanta Falcons have signed former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark, his agent Todd France confirmed with ESPN.

Chark played in just seven games last season due to a hip injury. He started 21 games the previous two seasons combined with the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers. Chark's best season was 2019 with the Jacksonville Jaguars: 73 catches for 1,008 receiving yards and eight touchdown receptions.

NFL Media was the first to report the news.

Chark, 28, could be a depth piece for the Falcons, who needed that at wide receiver.
