Surratt (undisclosed) signed a contract Wednesday with the New Orleans Breakers in the USFL.
Surratt received an injury settlement from the Chargers back in August and didn't ultimately play in the 2022 NFL season, but his return to the USFL is also a confirmation that he's returned to health. The tight end could get another NFL opportunity at some point in the offseason.

Rotowire
The Chargers waived Surratt (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Surratt played 17 offensive snaps and caught two of three targets for 15 yards during the Chargers' second preseason game, but he was sidelined for the final exhibition game due to an undisclosed injury. Following this settlement, the terms of it will need to be met before he'll be eligible for another opportunity.

Surratt is expected to sign with Detroit as an undrafted free agent, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
It was a bit surprising to see Surratt go undrafted, considering he was a first-team All-ACC performer in 2020 with Wake Forest. Last season, he racked up 66 catches for 1,001 yards and 11 touchdowns. At 6-foot-2 and 209 pounds, Surratt will bring size to the receiving room in 2021 if he's able to make the roster.
