The Chargers waived McLachlan on Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. McLachlan spent time on the Chargers' practice squad late last season but was never elevated to the active roster. The 27-year-old last appeared in an NFL game during the 2024 season with the Bengals, and he will look to join a new team ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Tanner McLachlan: Breaking News
Sticking around with Chargers
The Chargers signed McLachlan to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. McLachlan was cut from the Chargers' practice squad Jan. 6 but will be on the team's 90-man roster when the NFL offseason officially begins Feb. 9. That gives the 2024 sixth-rounder the opportunity to impress coaching staff during OTAs and minicamp and gain momentum heading into training camp.
Cut from practice squad
The Chargers cut McLachlan from the practice squad Tuesday. McLachlan's spot on the practice squad will be taken by wide receiver Luke Grimm. A second-year pro, McLachlan ultimately was not elevated to suit up for a regular-season game with Los Angeles in 2025.
