The Chargers signed rookie linebacker James Holt from the practice squad to fill the roster spot created when wide receiver Chris Chambers was released.

Holt originally joined the Chargers in May as a free agent. He was released at the conclusion of training camp and added to the practice squad.

The Chargers need a linebacker because Tim Dobbins is expected to be out for two weeks after sustaining a knee injury in Sunday's 24-16 win over Oakland.

The Chargers signed linebacker Jeremy Leman to the practice squad.

General manager A.J. Smith didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

Chambers to K.C.

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced they were awarded Chambers via a waiver claim.

The Chargers waived Chambers on Monday. Originally a second-round pick by Miami in 2001, Chambers has made 111 starts with the Dolphins and Chargers and caught 482 passes for 6,827 yards and 53 touchdowns.

From 2007-09, he played in 31 games for the Chargers, catching 77 passes for 1,139 yards and 10 scores. Wide receiver has been a position of need all season for the Chiefs (1-6).
