Patrick Herbert, brother of Justin Herbert, joins Chargers’ practice squad

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will be practicing with his brother for the first time since they were teammates at Oregon in 2019.

Patrick Herbert, a tight end who was cut by the Jaguars on Sunday, signed with the Chargers’ practice squad on Monday.

The 25-year-old Patrick, who is three years younger than Justin, signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent last year and spent the season on their practice squad. He remained with the Jaguars throughout this offseason.

Patrick spent six seasons at Oregon, playing there from 2019 through 2024. As a freshman he got on the field for two games, while Justin was leading the Ducks to a 12-2 record that culminated in winning the Rose Bowl. During his college career, Patrick caught 31 passes for 388 yards and four touchdowns.
