Ex-Chargers EDGE Melvin Ingram signing with Steelers

After spending the past nine seasons with the Chargers, edge defender Melvin Ingram is taking his talents to Pittsburgh.

According to multiple reports, Ingram is signing a one-year deal with the Steelers.

Since the free agency period opened, Ingram also visited the Chiefs and Dolphins, but he never struck a deal.

Ingram, 31, was originally selected by the Chargers in the first-round of the 2012 NFL draft. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2017, 2018, and 2019 after posting 24.5 sacks during that time.

Limited to only seven games in 2020, it was the first season in Ingram’s career in which he did not record a sack.

With Ingram gone, Los Angeles enters this season with Joey Bosa and Uchenna Nwosu as the starters, with Kyler Fackrell and Chris Rumph II as the backups.

Ingram will face his former team on Sunday night, Nov. 21 when the Chargers take on the Steelers in Week 11.
