Chargers place LS Binn on I.R., sign LS Dearth

T he Chargers placed veteran LS David Binn(notes) on injured reserve on Wednesday because of a hamstring injury and signed veteran LS James Dearth(notes) to replace him.
Binn, who played in 256 of the last 257 regular-season games San Diego hasnfl jerseys
played and all 12 of its playoff games dating back to his rookie season in 1994, is the longest-tenured Charger on this year's team.
He suffered the injury during Monday night's loss at Kansas City. By being placed on I.R., it means he will miss the rest of the season.
Dearth played in 144 consecutive regular-season games for the New York Jets from 2001-09 and their last nine playoff games. The 6-4, 265-pounder became a free agent after the '09 season and spent time with the Redskins this past preseason before being cut prior to the season.
The way we see it
The Chargers did well to replace the trusted Binn with a veteran in Dearth who has been a very dependable short- and long-snapper for many years.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)—The New York Jets have placed nose tackle Kris Jenkins(notes) on injured reserve and signed defensive tackle Howard Green(notes) to help replace him.
The move Wednesday gives the Jets some much-needed depth on the defensive line, which took a major hit when Jenkins went down for the season.
An MRI exam revealed Tuesday that Jenkins tore the ACL in Minnesota Vikings jersey
his surgically repaired left knee early in the Jets’ season-opening 10-9 loss to Baltimore on Monday night. Jenkins missed half of last season after sustaining the same injury.
Green played with the Jets last season, but signed with the Washington Redskins as a free agent. He was among the final cuts by the Redskins on Sept. 4.
