An Updated San Diego Chargers Depth Chart

By John Gennaro

Last week, prior to the Cardinals game, I was going to make a post showing the differences in the Chargers Week 1 and Week 2 depth charts.  The problem was that there was only one tiny change, Tim Dobbins and Kevin Burnett switching places.  This week there still aren't a ton of changes, but I'd like to take this opportunity to go back over the entire San Diego Chargers depth chart.

The starters and backups at every position (including the backup holder for kicks!) lie after the jump.

Notes

  • English moved from 2nd to 3rd on the depth chart, with Applewhite moving over to that side.  A message from the team?
  • Ben Muth and Wopamo Osaisai have been waived.
  • Contrary to what some people think, Buster Davis will not be getting cut.  Look at him all over this depth chart, and usually fairly high up.
  • Anyone else curious as to why the Chargers didn't bring in another Kicker to save Kaeding's leg?  This is a common practice and the only reason Truman Spencer is on the team as a Punter.
  • Tyronne Green still not listed as a Center.  Is this going to be like Naanee, where they try to change his position and eventually give up?
  • Before you ask, the Fullbacks are listed like that.  I didn't do that.  There are literally two starting FB spots on the depth chart, one has Hester (and the 2 backups) and the other simply has Manumaleuna (no backups).  I don't get it either.
