Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Luis Perez completed 13 of his 20 pass attempts for 78 yards, no scores, and no interceptions in the Chargers second preseason game. He took one sack and lost a fumble. Perez and Easton Stick are presumably competing for the backup quarterback job in Los Angeles, a role that could be immediately relevant since Justin Herbert is dealing with a foot injury and Week 1 quickly approaches. Perez was very much a game manager in this one, and that's more or less his upside. Even if he gets the job and plays in the regular season, he won't be much of a fantasy asset.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed quarterback Luis Perez on Tuesday, the team announced on X. The 29-year-old has had brief stints with three NFL squads, but he has played most of his professional career in the USFL, XFL, and UFL. The Texas A&M Commerce product spent the spring with the Arlington Renegades and led the UFL in passing yards (2,307) and passing touchdowns (18). With Justin Herbert (foot) banged up and out of action, this is likely a pure depth move as Perez joins a quarterback room with Easton Stick and Max Duggan. It would be a surprise if Perez stuck around and made the team's 53-man roster, but anything is possible at the backup QB spot.
