With Justin Herbert recovering from a foot injury, the Chargers added another quarterback, Luis Perez, who has had success in the UFL and XFL.
With Justin Herbert expected to miss at least another week because of his plantar fascia injury, the Chargers added depth to their quarterback room by signing quarterback Luis Perez. When Herbert sustained the injury, it was unclear if the Chargers would add another quarterback. However, the team decided to bring in the UFL-XFL journeyman on a one-year deal. Perez also has spent time with the Rams, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles.
Although no course has been set, expect Perez to start below quarterbacks Easton Stick, Max Duggan and Casey Bauman on the depth chart as he learns the playbook. Roman was impressed with Perez's workout, especially with his arm talent, and said all competitors are welcome. Perez has had success in the UFL and XFL. In the 2024 season, he led the UFL in several major statistical categories, including passing yards , touchdown passes , passer rating and completions .
