Chargers Placing LB Tanner Muse On IR, Promoting LB Blake Lynch

According to Tom Pelissero, the Chargers are placing LB Tanner Muse on injured reserve. 

To take his place on the roster, Los Angeles will promote LB Blake Lynch from the practice squad. 

Pelissero says Muse should be able to return at some point this season. He has a knee sprain and will miss at least four weeks on IR. 

Muse, 26, was originally a third-round draft pick by the Raiders in 2020 out of Clemson. He was set to enter the second year of his four-year $4.49 million contract when the Raiders waived him coming out of the preseason.

He caught on with the Seahawks on the practice squad and bounced on and off the active roster. He returned as an exclusive rights-free agent in 2022 but was waived again and re-signed to the practice squad before being added to their active roster. 

Muse was then signed by the Steelers back in April but was waived coming out of the preseason and claimed by the Chargers.

In 2023, Muse has appeared in 10 games for the Chargers and recorded two tackles.
