53-man roster official, backup quarterback role revealed, and more

The Los Angeles Chargers, along with the rest of the NFL, have made their final roster cuts before the start of the regular season.

There are plenty of moves that fans want to break down, and a few key positions of need must be filled before the Week 1 opening kick.

Here is the latest Chargers news.

Initial Roster

It was a long wait, but the Chargers have officially revealed their initial 53-man roster. The release of the roster brought a few surprises.

Backup QB

The Chargers have settled on Trey Lance being Justin Herbert's backup. Veteran quarterback Taylor Heinicke was cut, leading the way for Lance.

Heartbreaking Cut

Chargers fans were disappointed to see Raheim Sanders as one of the final cuts. However, the Chargers' backfield is too deep to keep everyone. Sanders, unfortunately, had to be the odd man out.

Harris Update

Running back Najee Harris will start the season on the 53-man roster. That means the coaching staff is expecting him to be ready for action in Week 1.

Trade

The Chargers made more than roster cuts on Tuesday. The team would also trade for offensive tackle Austin Deculus of the Houston Texans. It appears depth upfront is on the mind of this coaching staff.
