McCluster is expected to fill in as the pass-catching threat out of the backfield with Danny Woodhead (knee) out for the season, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego-Union Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

This doesn't come as much of a surprise, given McCluster's versatility as both a running back and wide receiver. Considering current Chargers offensive coordinator, Ken Whisenhunt, was McCluster's head coach during his tenure with the Titans, it makes sense that McCluster "pretty much has the offense down" and will likely have an impact as early as Week 3. During his two years with the Titans, McCluster never recorded more than 30 receptions in a year, but that number could be on the rise if he's able to build a rapport with quarterback Philip Rivers quickly.
