The Chargers hosted the free agent in practice prior to Week 8 against the Saints

The Los Angeles Chargers he worked one player before the team’s game against the New Orleans Saints in week eight.

Although fans may be clamoring for the name to gain a wider audience help attack Justin Herbert, who is very injuredChargers coaches actually put the team’s special player to the test.

According to Aaron Wilson on KPRC 2, the Chargers hosted player Jake Gerardi at practice.

Interestingly, the Chargers don’t seem to have a hitting problem with current starter JK Scott.

However, Gerardi is a left-footed player. The Saints also happen to employ a left-footed player named Matthew Hayball. Earlier this season, before the Philadelphia Eagles played Hayball and the Saints, they it also happened that he invited a left-footed player to training— in effect allowing their special teams team to look at something they are not used to playing against.

Sure, Gerardi could be a backup plan for the future. He should also participate in these training sessions and receive word-of-mouth and record videos about his skills. However, the Chargers also seemed to be using it as a way to prepare for the Saints.
