Friday’s minor NFL transactions:
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Signed: WR Kyric McGowan
- Placed on IR: OL Chandler Brewer
Los Angeles Chargers
- Signed: WR Praise Olatoke
New Orleans Saints
- Signed: TE Jesper Horsted
- Waived: WR Kyle Sheets
Olatake joins the Chargers offense as a member of the league’s International Player Pathway Program. Born in Nigeria, Olatoke was raised in Scotland before attending Ohio State as a sprinter in track and field. Olatoke clearly possesses next level speed, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors while posting a 10.27-second 100-meter dash time, but doesn’t have much competitive football experience. In fact, the Olatoke’s only experience playing football was on the Ohio State club team. Truly an inspiration for club players everywhere.
Brewer lands on injured reserve but does so without an injury designation. If Brewer plans to play in the backup role he held last year, he’ll now need to reach an injury settlement with the team in order to do so.
