The Chargers signed McLachlan to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan was cut from the Chargers' practice squad Jan. 6 but will be on the team's 90-man roster when the NFL offseason officially begins Feb. 9. That gives the 2024 sixth-rounder the opportunity to impress coaching staff during OTAs and minicamp and gain momentum heading into training camp.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan's spot on the practice squad will be taken by wide receiver Luke Grimm. A second-year pro, McLachlan ultimately was not elevated to suit up for a regular-season game with Los Angeles in 2025.

Los Angeles re-signed McLachlan to the practice squad Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan was cut from the Bolts' practice squad Wednesday, but he now resurfaces with the unit. The second-year pro initially inked with Los Angeles' practice squad Dec. 11 after a workout with the team, and he has yet to be elevated for a game this season.

The Chargers cut McLachlan from the practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move corresponds with the Chargers signing center Josh Kaltenberger to the practice squad. McLachlan has spent time with the Chargers and Bengals on their respective squads this season, and the 2024 sixth-rounder will aim to catch on with a team in need of depth at tight end.

Los Angeles signed McLachlan to the practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan worked out with the Chargers on Tuesday and now gets an opportunity with the team. He's fully recovered from the back issue that caused him to be waived from IR by the Bengals early September. In 2024, McLachlan appeared in two regular-season games with Cincinnati but wasn't targeted.

McLachlan (undisclosed) was hosted by the Chargers for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan was let go by the Bengals in early September after reaching an injury settlement with the team. The tight end now appears to be back to full health, and he'll look to latch on with a team for the stretch run of the season.

McLachlan (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve Friday by the Bengals, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan -- who was let go with an injury settlement -- suited up for just two games as a rookie last season. The nature and severity of his injury have yet to be clarified, but this move opens up the possibility of McLachlan suiting up this season, once he's healthy.

McLachlan (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan wasn't claimed after being waived with an injury designation Tuesday, so he'll spend the 2025 season on IR. He appeared in two regular-season games for Cincinnati in 2024.

The Bengals waived/injured McLachlan (undiclosed) on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

If McLachlan clears waivers, he'll revert to the Bengals' injured reserve where he'll remain for the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team. The 2024 sixth-round pick played in just two games for the Bengals last season and wasn't targeted.

McLachlan, the Bengals' sixth-round pick in the 2024 draft, was elevated from the practice squad in only two games, netting just five offensive snaps and 17 special-teams snaps. He was not targeted on any passes.

EDGE Analysis

McLachlan was considered to have a decent receiving upside potential from the tight-end spot, but he couldn't crack the Bengals' rotation despite the team employing tight ends in the passing game more frequently in 2024.
