The Los Angeles Chargers apparently made two trades at the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday. One, fans knew about: The Chargers acquired offensive lineman Trevor Penning from the New Orleans Saints.

Help is on the way at cornerback. CBS Sports reports the Saints are expected to sign a 76-game starter who played for Brandon Staley on the Chargers:

The Chargers needed to make an addition to the offensive line, but Penning isn't going to transform them back into contenders.

The Chargers addressed the defensive side of the ball on Tuesday by signing defensive tackle Kyle Peko and safety Marcus Williams to the practice squad. In correspondence, Los Angeles released wide receiver Luke Grimm and running back Nyheim Hines from the practice squad.

The Tennessee Titans front office has been reshaping the roster in Nashville. The Titans currently hold a 1-7 record and have been widely identified as sellers in the trade market. The sellers label was confirmed when they traded away their second defensive back recently by trading cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday.

He did get one start, rushing for 48 yards and 1 score on 9 carries against the Chargers ... the Philadelphia Eagles for their practice squad. The Eagles released him from the practice squad last week, where the Saints signed him just days later.
