The Chargers announced they claimed cornerback Essang Bassey off waivers Monday.
The Broncos cut Bassey on Saturday.

The second-year player from Wake Forest signed as an undrafted free agent with the Broncos in 2020. He has appeared in 13 games and made three starts for Denver the past two seasons.
Bassey has totaled 22 tackles, an interception, two passes defensed, three tackles for loss and a fumble recovery.
