COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) The Los Angeles Chargers have signed kicker Caleb Sturgis to a two-year deal.

The Chargers announced the move Friday. Los Angeles also signed kicker Roberto Aguayo in January, and Nick Rose is still on the roster.

Sturgis spent the past three seasons with Philadelphia, but he missed the Eagles' Super Bowl championship run. After winning the starting job, he injured his hip in the regular season opener and went on injured reserve.

The University of Florida product spent his first two NFL seasons with Miami. He was outstanding for the Eagles in 2016, hitting 35 of his 41 field goal attempts.

The Chargers used four kickers last season while finishing last in the NFL in percentage of field goals made (66.7).
