The San Diego Chargers have announced the addition of veteran defensive tackle Ian Scott.

Scott was a fourth-round pick of the Bears in 2003.  He signed with the Eagles in 2007 but landed on injured reserve.

Scott signed the Panthers in April 2008, but was cut before the start of the season.

To make room for Scott, the Chargers cut rookie cornerback DeJuan Tribble.  The sixth-round pick from Boston College was involved in a bar fight in 2007 along with Lions tackle Gosder Cherilus, a first-round pick.
