The San Diego Chargers have added offensive tackle Marcus McNeill to the active roster.

Cornerback Fred Bennett has been placed on waivers.

McNeill had been on the Chargers' "exempt" list since August when he opted not to sign his one-year restricted free agent tender. McNeill signed his tender on September 25, but by rule, had to sit out the first three games after his reporting date.

The 2-3 Chargers went 1-2 during McNeill's prolonged absence.
