EL SEGUNDO — The Los Angeles Chargers signed former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris and free agent cornerback Donte Jackson on Wednesday.
The team also re-signed linebacker Troy Dye and wide receiver Jalen Reagor.
Harris brings durability, having started all 68 games regular-season games with the Steelers. A first-round pick out of Alabama in 2021, he topped 1,000 yards in each of his first four NFL seasons. He was a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie.
Jackson also comes over from Pittsburgh, where he made 15 regular-season starts last year after being traded from Carolina. He had a career-high five interceptions over that span before missing two of the final three games with a back issue. He’s expected to add a veteran presence to the Chargers’ young cornerback group.
Dye was a key contributor on defense last season while making five starts at linebacker. He had career highs in tackles (52), solo tackles (31), sacks (1 1/2) and tackles for loss (two). He was one of just six NFL players last season with 50-plus tackles on defense, multiple sacks and at least five tackles on special teams.
Reagor played in eight games in his first season with the Chargers, making two starts with seven catches for 100 yards.
