Christiansen signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent on April 25, 2020, after receiving a waiver that allowed him to serve in the reserves and delay his active duty commitment until after his playing career is over.[1] He was waived by the Chargers during final roster cuts on September 5, 2020, but was signed to the team's practice squad the next day.[2][3] He was elevated to the active roster on November 21, November 28, and December 5 for the team's weeks 11, 12, and 13 games against the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and New England Patriots, and reverted to the practice squad after each game.[4][5][6]
