Along with the rest of the NFL, the Los Angeles Chargers have until Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. PT trim their roster all the way down to 53 players for the 2023 season.
There aren’t truly an starting jobs up for grabs within the Bolts’ roster, but plenty of depth roles have yet to be solidified as of Sunday morning.
Who will be the surprise “keep” on the initial 53? Will one of the team’s many 2023 UDFAs be able to break through like former undrafted stars Austin Ekeler and Michael Davis?
Only time will tell. Keep it right here as we keep track of every cut for the Chargers over the next few days.
