However, don’t be shocked if the Chargers add another body into the fold. Larry Rountree III currently would be their lead practice squad back that also functions as a special teamer on certain game days. If the running backs on the roster are the same after August, the Chargers will keep three. Running backs (3): Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley, Isaiah Spiller
The NFL’s new emergency quarterback rule prompted by the 2023 NFC Championship game only increases the odds of keeping three. While it’s not the savviest roster-building decision, in my opinion, it’s how they operate. Investing a Day 3 pick into TCU’s Max Duggan only clarified his intentions. Tom Telesco has kept three in eight of his ten seasons as general manager. Quarterbacks (3): Justin Herbert, Easton Stick, Max Duggan
But basing it off of the roster now, here’s my best guess: It wouldn’t surprise me if there were still some signings to be made for the Chargers between now and the date for final cuts.
