He was then re-signed to the team's practice squad on November 18. The following day, he was re-signed to the active roster when wide receiver Buster Davis was placed on injured reserve. He was not active for any of the games during the 2008 season.
Clark was waived on December 1, 2009 and was re-signed to the practice squad on December 5.
After his contract expired at season's end, Clark signed a future contract with the Chargers on January 22, 2010. However, on August 9, 2010, he retired from football to focus more on his family.
