The Chargers reportedly took a late-season look at a notable free agent wide receiver.
According to ESPN’s Adam Caplan, the Chargers put former Rams receiver Austin Pettis through a workout on Wednesday. He remains unsigned.
The Chargers could be down a key receiver for the regular-season finale at Kansas City, with second-year pro Keenan Allen doubtful with ankle and shoulder injuries.
The 26-year-old Pettis caught 107 passes for 1,034 yards with nine touchdowns in four seasons with the Rams, who released him in October. In November, he worked out for the Seahawks, Caplan reported. He also got an audition with the Panthers.
NFL teams can start signing free agents to 2015 offseason rosters beginning on Monday.
