The Chargers are signing defensive tackle Teair Tart, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The addition of Tart comes a day after the team hosted him on a visit. He boosts an interior defensive line with still a relatively young player who can make an impact against the run.
Tart spent a few months with the Dolphins before being released on Tuesday.
Before his time in Miami, Tart played four seasons with the Titans and two games with the Texans in 2023. In 47 contests (36 starts), he recorded 79 tackles, 2.5 sacks, an interception, seven passes defended and a fumble recovery.
Tart’s best season came in 2022 with Tennessee. That year, he recorded a career-high best 26 quarterback pressures and 23 run stops.
An undrafted free agent out of Florida International, Tart amassed 51 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in his two collegiate seasons.
