Josh Fuga: Everything you need to know

The Chargers waived Fuga (undisclosed) on Thursday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Fuga signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2025 but spent the season on injured reserve. He's healthy now but will be shown the door ahead of rookie minicamp. Fuga will likely aim to secure a practice-squad opportunity elsewhere.

Fuga (undisclosed) reverted to the Chargers' injured reserve Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Fuga will remain with the team after clearing waivers, albeit on injured reserve and will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's waived with an injury settlement. The rookie undrafted free agent will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2026 season and will look to make his NFL debut then.

Fuga (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Chargers on Monday. The defensive tackle's injury remains unclear, though he was carted off from practice Saturday, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. If Fuga goes unclaimed on waivers, he will revert to Los Angeles' injured-reserve list, at which point he would need to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play in 2025. The Virginia Tech product signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in the spring.
