With both Charlie Kolar (forearm) and David Njoku (fibula) slated to go on injured reserve, the Chargers needed more depth at tight end behind second-year pro Oronde Gadsden. Rucci did not record a catch across four regular-season games with the Vikings in 2025, and he figures to serve mostly as a blocker on offense and a contributor on special teams, with Gadsden being the pass-catching tight end for Justin Herbert.
