With tight end Hunter Henry out because of a knee injury, the Los Angeles Chargers announced Tuesday that they signed veteran tight end Lance Kendricks.
To make room on the roster, the Chargers officially placed safety Adrian Philips on the injured reserve with a broken right forearm.
The Chargers also waived receiver Andre Patton and re-signed defensive end Chris Peace.
Henry suffered a tibia plateau fracture to his left knee during the season opener against the Colts and will likely miss four to six weeks.
