Bertolet signed with the Chargers' practice squad Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bertolet will be insurance for the team if Dustin Hopkins (quadriceps) is unable to kick Sunday against the Browns. The former was last on the Panthers' practice squad, and although he has yet to make his NFL debut, Bertolet has played in the AAF, USFL and CFL previously.
