Mager signed a contract with the Broncos on Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of the Denver Post reports.

Mager (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mager sat out a week of practice nursing a hamstring injury before falling on injured reserve. Primarily a special teams piece, the depth cornerback's absence should not significantly impact the Chargers' defense. With Mager sidelined, Michael Davis and Brandon Facyson are presented with the opportunity to claim increased special teams snaps going forward.

EDGE Analysis

Mager was promoted to the Chargers' 53-man roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mager joined the Chargers practice squad after roster cutdowns in September and has played in 21 games with the team over the last two seasons. The 25-year-old's addition to the roster could spell trouble for the status of Casey Hayward, who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game with a calf injury.

Mager was waived by the Chargers on Sunday, Debbie L. Skylar of MyNewsLA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mager played 21 games, starting 10, for the Chargers over the previous two seasons. He will presumably clear waivers and look to land a new opportunity elsewhere.

Mager (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday after missing the Chargers' first two preseason games, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mager, who's been dealing with a hamstring injury throughout training camp, tore the same muscle during his rookie year as the Chargers elected to proceed cautiously with his recovery this time around. He'll look to make his preseason debut Saturday against the Rams, hoping to make the Chargers' final roster and provide depth in the secondary.
