Update:

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that free agent QB Robert Griffin III had a “positive” workout for the Chargers on Tuesday, but there was no move made following the session.

A Chargers source tells Josina Anderson that RGIII had a good workout for them: “It was a good workout.We are still weighing all of our options before camp. We are always looking to upgrade.”

We just wanted to make sure he’s healthy and moving around well,” Anderson’s source added. “Young man can move. He’s athletic, threw the ball well but he’s not the only QB available. Not sure we’ll add another quarterback or not.
