The Facts: With Nate Kaeding nursing a groin injury that he suffered while practicing for the Pro Bowl, the Chargers need a warm body to swing a leg during OTAs amd minicamp. And so they've signed Novak.
Diehards Line:Out of the NFL in 2009, Novak last kicked for the Chiefs in 2008. He previously kicked for the Cardinals and the Redskins. His chances of holding onto a roster spot beyond camp -- at least in San Diego -- lie somewhere between slim and none.
