The San Diego Chargers placed safeties Eric Weddle (groin) and Darrell Stuckey (knee), tight end Ladarius Green (ankle) and nose tackle Sean Lissemore (shoulder) on injured reserve Monday.

Weddle, Stuckey and Green were all injured during last Thursday night's game against the Oakland Raiders, while Lissemore had been inactive the last four games due to his injury.

The Chargers also fined Weddle $10,000 for watching his daughter dance in a halftime program on Dec. 20, according to a published report.

Weddle's agent, David Canter, said he plans to file a grievance with the NFL Players Association.

Weddle is a free agent after the season and the team declined to offer him an extension. He finishes his season as the team's leading tackler in the secondary with 75 stops to go along with nine passes defensed.

The Chargers added three players to the active roster -- tight end Sean McGrath and safety Matt Daniels, both of whom are being promoted from the team's practice squad, and tight end Asante Cleveland, claimed off waivers from the New England Patriots.

Stuckey had two special teams tackles before being injured, which raised his season total to eight, second-most on the squad. Green finishes his season fifth on the team with 37 catches for 429 yards and four touchdowns. Lissemore's season ends with 17 tackles.

The 6-foot-5, 259-pound McGrath is a second-year tight end. He spent the previous five weeks on the Chargers' practice squad.

The 6-0, 212-pound Daniels is a third-year safety who spent a total of three weeks with the Chargers on their practice squad this season.

The Chargers also re-signed guards Craig Watts and Michael Huey to the practice squad.
