The Chargers have signed 24-year old cornerback Daymeion Hughes.  Hughes played in 14 games last season for the Colts and he made 20 tackles, defensed 2 passes and he had 1 interception.  Hughes has now played in 24 games in his NFL career and he has made 34 tackles, defensed 4 passes and he has 1 interception.  To make room on the roster for Hughes the Chargers have placed linebacker Antwan Applewhite on the Injured Reserve List with a hamstring injury.  Losing Applewhite won’t hurt the Chargers as he didn’t get in any games this season.

UPDATE:  The Chargers have released Daymeion Hughes after just getting a quick look-see at him.  The Chargers have activated CB Simeon Castille off the practice squad and he will serve as the dime back.

UPDATE II:  The Chargers have re-signed Daymeion Hughes and they have released Simeon Castille.
