The preseason has concluded which now means the Chargers are going to be cutting the roster down to 53 players getting ready for Week 1 of the regular season. During this preseason, some players at the bottom of the roster played well enough to earn a job while some quite frankly did not. Being that the preseason is over now; the team must start making their cuts down to their final roster. The Chargers will need to get down to the 53-man limit by 1:00 PM PST on Saturday, September 1st, 2018.
After the Chargers have made their cuts they will have the opportunity to claim other players off waivers. The Chargers will also be putting together a 10-man practice squad that will be mostly compiled of players the team cuts.
With cuts looming we’ll update this article as the roster moves are being announced throughout the next two days.
