The Los Angeles Chargers are traveling to Colorado this week and they’re bringing one former Denver Broncos player to potentially face off against his old team.
After he was cut by the Broncos in August, center Sam Mustipher signed with the Chargers’ practice squad. He was elevated to the game-day roster for L.A.’s last game and started at center, playing 56 snaps. It’s unclear if he’ll start again this week, but Mustipher seems likely to at least dress for the game.
Mustipher competed with Luke Wattenberg and Alex Forsyth for Denver’s starting center job this summer. Wattenberg ended up winning the job and Forsyth made the team as the primary backup. Mustipher then joined a division rival instead of re-signing with the Broncos’ practice squad.
Denver also has a pair of former Chargers on its practice squad: pass rusher Andrew Farmer and tight end Donald Parham. Neither player has appeared in a game for the Broncos so far this season.
Denver’s game against Los Angeles will be regionally televised on CBS. Despite playing at home with a three-game winning streak, the Broncos are considered underdogs against the Chargers this week.
