A first-round pick out of TCU in 2014, Verrett has now seen three of his four pro seasons cut short by injury. He played only six games as a rookie because of a torn labrum. The one season he was healthy, he made the Pro Bowl in 2015.
Earlier this year, the Chargers picked up Verrett's fifth-year option.
