Chargers Designate DE Melvin Ingram & DT Justin Jones To Return From IR

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Chargers have designated DE Melvin Ingram and DT Justin Jones to return from injured reserve on Monday.

This opens a three-week window of time for the Chargers to activate them from injured reserve and add them to their 53-man roster.

Ingram, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Chargers back in 2012. He played out his four-year, $8.39 million rookie contract that included 7.61 million guaranteed before the Chargers picked up his fifth-year option that paid him $7,751,000 for the 2017 season.

The Chargers placed the franchise tag on Ingram in 2017 before later signing him to a four-year, $66 million contract with $42 million guaranteed. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021.

In 2020, Ingram has appeared in two games for the Chargers and recorded two tackles, no sacks, an interception and two passes defended.
