Chargers Finalize 53-Man Roster
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.

Tennessee Titans
- Signed: DB A.J. Moore
- Waived: DT Curtis Brooks
Among the additions on today’s list, defensive back A.J. Moore is the most notable. The defensive back spent four years with the Texans to begin his career, compiling 69 tackles in 55 games while primarily playing on special teams. The 27-year-old spent a chunk of last season on the Titans practice squad, and he ultimately got into one game with the big-league club.
Minor NFL Transactions: 7/19/23
The roster updates following the opening of camp for rookies continued today:
Baltimore Ravens
- Placed on NFI: G Andrew Vorhees
Green Bay Packers
- Waived: OL DJ Scaife
Kansas City Chiefs
- Placed on PUP: DL Tershawn Wharton
Los Angeles Chargers
- Placed on NFI: WR Pokey Wilson
Minnesota Vikings
- Waived: CB John Reid
Tennessee Titans
- Waived: RB Charles McClelland
The news on Vorhees is no surprise. The lineman’s rookie year will operate as a redshirt season as he continues to work his way back from the torn ACL he suffered at the NFL Combine.
Wharton is also making his way back from a torn ACL. The rotation lineman suffered the season-ending injury in Week 5 of last season. He’s been working out with the team, but Wharton is not yet ready to be a full participant in practice.
Reid has started at least one game for each of the three teams for which he’s played in his three seasons of play. He’ll now look to find his seventh NFL team going into his fourth season.
Chargers Sign 18 UDFAs
After selecting seven new players in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chargers announced their undrafted free agent signings. Here are the 18 undrafted rookies who will be looking to make their mark this summer:
- OLB Brevin Allen, Campebll
- S Tyler Baker-Williams, NC State
- C Johari Branch, Maryland
- CB Cam Brown, Ohio State
- WR Terrell Bynum, USC
- DL Jerrod Clark, Coastal Carolina
- RB Elijah Dotson, Northern Colorado
- LB Nathan East, Samford
- TE Michael Ezeike, UCLA
- OLB Andrew Farmer, Lane College
- S A.J. Finley, Mississippi
- RB Tyler Hoosman, North Dakota
- LB Mikel Jones, Syracuse
- DL Terrance Lang, Colorado
- T Nicolas Melsop, Delta State
- CB Tiawan Mullen, Indiana
- CB A.J. Uzodinma, Ball State
- WR Pokey Wilson, Florida State
Clark is set to receive a $100K base salary, in addition to a $5K signing bonus, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. He was a three-year starter as a nose tackle in Myrtle Beach. He overcame quite a few obstacles to find an NFL opportunity, switching from tight end in college, gaining muscle and weight, and working through multiple injuries. He’ll work hard to earn a spot in the defensive line rotation for Los Angeles.
Lang also earned a bit over the minimum, according to Wilson. His deal includes $50K guaranteed, $30K of salary and $20K in a signing bonus. The Colorado pass rusher had 9.5 sacks and 20.0 tackles for loss for the Buffaloes over four years of play.
Mullen is the younger brother of Ravens cornerback Trayvon Mullen. He earned first-team All-American honors in 2020 but was limited due to injuries after that. He ended his career at Indiana with five interceptions, 33 passes defensed, and four forced fumbles.
