Chargers Sign OLB Marques Harris

Due to concerns about tendonitis in Shawne Merriman's foot and the Bolts' already thin linebacking corps, management has brought in former Charger Marques Harris. The 28-year-old Harris, who is most famous for backflipping after getting a sack, spent the 2005-2008 seasons with the Chargers before being released. He played this season with the 49ers before being released due to a hamstring injury.

The Harris signing likely means that Merriman will be held out on Sunday against the Chiefs to rest his foot. Not that it matters at this point, Merriman has been a factor like twice this season.
