The Chargers took care of most of their headline moves before the deadline today. They used today to take care of the remaining moves necessary to get down to the 53-man roster limit. Here are the team’s moves from today:

Waived:

• LB Brevin Allen
• OT Zack Bailey
• S Tyler Baker-Williams
• C Johari Branch
• WR Terrell Bynum
• DL Jerrod Clark
• WR Keelan Doss
• LB Nathan East
• TE Michael Ezeike
• LB Andrew Farmer
• CB Matt Hankins
• WR John Hightower
• RB Tyler Hoosman
• CB Michael Jacquet
• LB Mikel Jones
• TE Hunter Kampmoyer
• OT Matt Kaskey
• LB Carlo Kemp
• DL Terrance Lang
• LB Blake Lynch
• DL David Moa
• CB Tiawan Mullen
• DL C.J. Okoye
• OL Austen Pleasants
• RB Aaron Shampklin
• LB Ty Shelby
• WR Darrius Shepherd
• CB Amechi Uzodinma
• C Isaac Weaver
• DB Mark Webb
• WR Pokey Wilson
• WR Milton Wright

Placed on reserve/PUP:

• WR Jalen Guyton
• DL Otito Ogbonnia

Seventh-round rookie quarterback Max Duggan failed to make the roster behind starter Justin Herbert and backup Easton Stick. At running back, though, undrafted rookie running back Elijah Dotson impressed enough in the preseason to make the active roster in the regular season.

The team will carry a simple, five-man receiving corps into the season with Guyton on the physically unable to perform list. Returning wideouts Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Josh Palmer will be joined by former TCU draft picks Quentin Johnston and Derius Davis.

Cameron Dicker winning the kicking battle led to the trading of Dustin Hopkins and the waiving of Cade York. After making 19 of his 20 kick attempts for the Chargers in his rookie year and converting all 22 of his extra point attempts, Dicker will remain the team’s placekicker moving forward.
