We all wanted to see Justin Jackson get some action in the preseason, but a nagging injury kept him off of the field until the final week. By that time, Detrez Newsome made the most of the snaps he was able to steal.
When the final 53 came, Justin Jackson was able to make it onto the roster for the first round of cuts, but in order for the Chargers to make room for Antonio Gates, he was released off of the roster.
The Chargers have made the re-signing of TE Antonio Gates official and, in a corresponding move, waived RB Justin Jackson (R, Northwestern).
