Chargers ink Tanuvasa

Last Updated: Tuesday, October 2, 2001 | 9:19 PM ET

The San Diego Chargers, who lost defensive tackle Jamal Williams for the season with a knee injury, signed Maa Tanuvasa to a one-year contract Tuesday.

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Williams tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Sunday's 28-14 NFL win over Cincinnati.

Leonardo Carson will move into his starting spot and Tanuvasa will add depth.

Tanuvasa spent the previous six seasons with Denver, where he started 54 of 80 regular-season games.

He also started eight of nine post-season games, including both of Denver's Super Bowl wins.

He started every game for Denver the last three seasons, getting 191/2 sacks.

The Chargers, one of three NFL teams with a 3-0 record, play at Cleveland (2-1) on Sunday.
