Finding 53 Chargers is difficult at this point, even counting Joey Bosa as one.
The team is almost certain to play musical chairs with their 53-man roster in the days following “final cuts” on Sept. 3. Especially at tight end and on the defensive line (and perhaps outside linebacker, safety and the O-line), the Chargers will seek veteran help.
So what follows is a projection of a temporary 53-man roster.
Quarterback
Philip Rivers
Kellen Clemens
Mike Bercovici: Don't want rookie to become the next Scott Tolzien by trying to sneak him though waivers, so he gets chance to learn while cashing the big paycheck.
