We can all agree, this has been an unusually-busy lead-up to the first game of the season for the San Diego Chargers and their personnel. Players being cut, signed to the practice squad, released, re-signed, all in a matter of days.

Shawne Merriman has been limited in practice this week with an Achilles heel problem. May not play on Monday.
