EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers center Tyler Biadasz was placed on injured reserve after he injured his left knee in a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Chargers signed wide receiver Gary Jennings on Sunday to fill the roster spot.

Biadasz went down after 49ers defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez fell into his leg during an 11-on-11 drill and was carted off the field.

He signed with the Chargers in March shortly after he was released by the Washington Commanders.

Biadasz has started 84 regular-season games and seven playoff games over his career with Washington and Dallas. The Cowboys drafted the former Wisconsin standout in the fourth round of the 2020 draft.

The Chargers wrap up their preseason on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams.

Former Washington Mystics star Elena Delle Donne and former Washington linebacker London Fletcher were among those inducted into the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame during a Sunday ceremony at Nationals Park. They were joined by W.T. Woodson High School and Duke University alumnus Tommy Amaker, George Washington University softball star and Olympic gold medalist Elana Meyers Taylor and legendary Maryland high school football coach Al Thomas. Also, the University of Maryland's men's basketball team that won the 2002 national championship were honored with the Hall of Fame's Team of Distinction. Legendary coach Gary Williams coached the Maryland Terrapins to their only title in school history with the help of basketball stars Juan Dixon, Lonny Baxter and Steve Blake. Williams, who was inducted into the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame in 2015, told WTOP that he is elated about the team being among the all-time D.C. sports greats. "It's great for our team," Williams said. "For our team to do something together at this point is always a great thing, and this is the 25th anniversary of the championship. So that makes this a little bit more special."
