Eric Wedde's understudy Adrian Phillips takes center stage

SAN DIEGO -- A member of the San Diego Chargers either on the practice squad or the active roster for the better part of two seasons, defensive back Adrian Phillips will get the first opportunity to show he can fill the big shoes left vacant by the inevitable departure of Eric Weddle.

The Chargers placed Weddle on the season-ending injured reserve on Monday. Weddle will be an unrestricted free agent in 2016, and is all but certain to move on to another team after a strained relationship with the front office this season.
