The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to a one-year deal with former Tennessee Titans cornerback Kristian Fulton, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Fulton hoped to set himself up for a big payday entering his fourth season in 2023, but those aspirations were cut short by hamstring and groin injuries that kept him out of six games, eventually leading to him being placed on season-ending injured reserve in late December.
Fulton, who turns 25 in September, showed a glimpse of his potential against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season when he held George Pickens to two catches for minus-1 yards. He finished the season without an interception and with five passes defended.
Injuries plagued his four years with the Titans, as he missed 23 games. When healthy, Fulton is a willing tackler against the run and has the versatility to play the nickel and outside cornerback spots.
The Titans selected Fulton in the second round of the 2020 draft out of LSU, where he won a national championship playing opposite Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley in 2019.
In four NFL seasons, Fulton has appeared in 42 games with 37 starts and totaled 150 tackles, 1 sack, 4 interceptions and 25 passes defended.
The NFL Network first reported the deal.
