A 2022 seventh-rounder, Horvath was a rookie contributor in L.A. before toiling on practice squads last season. 27-year-old Adam Prentice is a restricted free agent in New Orleans, so perhaps Horvath has been brought on board to take his job.

The move frees up a roster spot for recent waiver claim, linebacker Tanner Muse. The Chargers initially carried four running backs plus Horvath past roster cuts, which seemed curious at the time. It remains to be seen whether Horvath will be brought back via the practice squad under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
