The Chargers are adding to their practice squad, grabbing former Dolphins wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. ESPN’s Adam Schefter dropped the news, and it’s a reunion for Wease with Mike McDaniel, who’s now in his first season as the Chargers’ offensive coordinator.
The Reunion & That HUGE Touchdown
Wease was with the Dolphins back in 2025 when McDaniel was the head coach there. Now, they’re linking up again. Wease is heading into just his second season in the league, having gone undrafted in 2025. He’s 25 years old and has only one NFL game on his resume. But get this: in that single game, Week 17 against the Buccaneers, he made it count, snagging his first NFL touchdown on a massive 63-yard reception! Before that, he spent most of his time chilling on the Dolphins’ practice squad in 2025 and even spent most of the 2026 offseason with them before Miami waived him before the final roster cuts.
Chargers’ Practice Squad Numbers Are Wild
Here’s where it gets interesting for the Chargers. Wease is the 20th player added to their practice squad. Problem is, teams are only allowed 16 players on their standard squad. Right now, Los Angeles officially has 17 players, plus three more unofficial reported signings, bringing their total to 20. That means the Chargers are gonna have to cut four players, like, immediately, just to make their roster legit. Talk about a tight squeeze!
So, Wease is back with McDaniel, but the real question is who’s getting the axe to make room. The Chargers have some tough decisions ahead before this practice squad situation gets official.
