Chargers Bring Back Jefferson | Los Angeles Chargers News

Chargers pull a surprise roster twist, bringing back veteran safety Tony Jefferson after initially cutting him — a move made possible by trades that opened up a spot. With 12 NFL seasons under his belt and a solid stat line last year (including career highs in interceptions and pass deflections), Jefferson is expected to serve as backup behind starters RJ Mickens and Elijah Molden, with rookie Genesis Smith also getting reps. The team’s final roster is now set, and they’ll open the season at home against the Cardinals, followed by another home game before hitting the road for Week 3 against Buffalo.
