The Chargers waived Perez on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. After playing in the UFL, Perez signed with the Chargers earlier this month. He completed just 18 of 32 passes for 139 yards (4.3 YPA) this preseason with no touchdowns. It wasn't enough to win a spot on the 53-man roster behind Justin Herbert.

Luis Perez Latest News
Let go by Los Angeles
The Chargers waived Perez on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. After playing in the UFL, Perez signed with the Chargers earlier this month. He completed just 18 of 32 passes for 139 yards (4.3 YPA) this preseason with no touchdowns. It wasn't enough to win a spot on the 53-man roster behind Justin Herbert.
Heading to LA
Perez inked a deal with the Chargers on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Perez most recently played in the UFL and finished the year with a league-high 2,309 passing yards and 18 touchdowns on 225 completions. His most recent NFL experience also came in Los Angeles last season, but for the Rams, where he was ultimately cut during last year's training camp. The journeyman went undrafted out of Texas A&M-Commerce in 2018 and has yet to make a roster. With Justin Herbert (foot) sidelined for approximately two weeks, head coach Jim Harbaugh has opted to bring some more depth under center.
