Chargers Cutdown Day: How the Initial 53-Man Roster is Taking Shape

Which 53 players made the Chargers' initial 53-man roster?

COSTA MESA – The Chargers finalized their initial 53-man roster ahead of the Tuesday 1:00 p.m. PT deadline.

Ultimately, there was just one notable surprise as second-year safety Mark Webb was waived. Webb has dealt with lingering injuries across his short career, making his availability to remain on the field quite limited. Webb looks to be a priority practice squad signee of the Chargers.
