The Facts:
The Chargers released receiver-returner Tim Dwight on Tuesday after four injury-marred seasons. Dwight was slowed last season by toe and hamstring injuries, and sustained a collapsed lung in both the 2001 and 2003 seasons. Dwight was obtained the day before the 2001 draft in a deal that sent the No. 1 pick to the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons used the pick on Michael Vick, and the Chargers used the fifth pick overall on LaDainian Tomlinson.

According to San Diego Union-Tribune staffer Jim Trotter, general manager A.J. Smith
said last week that he hopes to add a big-play return man through the draft or free agency this offseason. Last year, Eric Parker was the primary punt returner. Jesse Chatman, Robb Butler and Michael Turner handled kick returns when Dwight was out.
