The Los Angeles Chargers are making a trade at the NFL trade deadline ahead of their Week 10 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, acquiring OL Trevor Penning from the New Orleans Saints, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Deadline deal: Saints are trading OL Trevor Penning to the Chargers, per source.
The Chargers lost OT Joe Alt for the season in Week 9, after the team previously lost OT Rashawn Slater to a season-ending injury during training camp. Additionally, OT Bobby Hart suffered an injury in Week 9 that could keep him out, leaving the Chargers thin at offensive tackle depth.
