The Chargers signed Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Valdes-Scantling spent training camp with the Cowboys but was released on cutdown day. Valdes-Scantling has ample NFL experience, though his numbers have dwindled since he recorded 687 receiving yards with Kansas City in 2022. Valdes-Scantling's signing may have been in response to top Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey being day-to-day due to a rib injury. With that said, Valdes-Scantling isn't likely to make a major fantasy impact at this point in his career even if he logs some time on the gameday roster.
Valdes-Scantling was released by the Cowboys on Sunday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Valdes-Scantling was unable to secure a depth role in Dallas' top-heavy wide receiver room. With 116 games of regular-season NFL experience under his belt, plus 12 playoff contests, MVS could appeal to another team in search of a veteran presence that can stretch the field at wide receiver.
Everyone sharing the ball with Marquez, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
