Chargers added a veteran receiver

The Chargers got themselves some help at receiver by signing eight-year veteran Kelley Washington.

He is expected to be in uniform Sunday at Houston. He is a big receiver at 6-foot-3, 217 pounds. He has played eight NFL season and had 34 catches for 431 yards for Baltimore last season. He can also help on special teams.

The Chargers only have three healthy receivers – Patrick Cratyon, Gary Banks and Seji Ajirotutu before the signing of Washington. Starters Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee are not expected to play at Houston because of hamstring injuries. Pro Bowl receiver Vincent Jackson won’t be eligible to play until Week 12.

Also, TE Antonio Gates is dealing with foot injuries and may not play against the Texans. So, the Washington signing makes sense.
