The San Diego Chargers have begun the process of trimming down the roster before today's 53-man roster deadline.
The San Diego Chargers need to trip 22 names off of their roster by this afternoon, taking the total size of the roster from 75 down to 53. They started the process last night by cutting WR Austin Pettis, OL Kenny Wiggins, and CB Richard Crawford.
Pettis looked good in the practices that I saw, but never really made an impact in plenty of preseason action. Part of this was probably common courtesy, as he'll benefit more by being some other team's #4 receiver than he would by being the Chargers' #6 receiver.
