The Los Angeles Chargers shook up their edge depth, re-signing Caleb Murphy to the practice squad after his stint with the Giants this preseason. While Murphy’s special teams prowess could address last season’s weaknesses, the move came at the cost of promising undrafted rookie Nadame Tucker, whose record-breaking sack numbers at Western Michigan didn’t translate in preseason action. Could the Chargers regret letting Tucker go if he finds success elsewhere? Running back concerns grow as Keaton Mitchell missed his sixth consecutive practice with lingering injuries. With uncertainty around Mitchell’s Week 1 availability against the Arizona Cardinals, names like Greg Desrosiers—who wowed with a 100-yard game and a touchdown in preseason—could step up for a bigger role. As injuries threaten to reshape the Chargers’ running back rotation, the next man up could make a crucial difference when the season kicks off.
