The Chargers made the release of offensive guard Ben Cleveland official on Tuesday.
They signed long snapper Peter Bowden in a corresponding move.
Bowden returns to the Chargers after spending the end of the 2025 season on the team’s practice squad.
He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2024 with Green Bay, spending training camp with the Packers. Later that season, Bowden joined the Jaguars’ practice squad.
Bowden snapped collegiately at Wisconsin, appearing in 39 career games from 2021-23. He was a finalist for the Patrick Mannelly Award in 2023, which recognizes college football’s top long snapper. That season, Bowden snapped on an operation that helped Badgers kicker Nathanial Vakos earn All-Big Ten recognition.
