Sorensen

Sorensen (6-foot-4 1/2, 229) has good size, but he looks like nothing more than a camp arm for the Chargers. He’ll get plenty of reps in rookie minicamp as the only quarterback rostered behind Philip Rivers and Charlie Whitehurst.

Sorensen (6-foot-4 1/2, 229) left Southern Utah as the school’s all-time leading passer, but regressed sharply as a senior after earning Player of the Year in the Great West Conference as a junior. Sorensen looks like a camp arm or practice-squad candidate at this point. The Chargers have nobody under contract behind Philip Rivers and Charlie Whitehurst.

“We’re giving everyone an opportunity to compete,” said McCoy after watching the tape of San Diego’s preseason opener. Sorensen completed 7-of-10 throws for 84 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks, while Whitehurst was terrifically bad, going 7-of-15 for 59 yards and a pair of interceptions. The new Chargers regime has no ties to Whitehurst, a holdover from ex-GM A.J. Smith.

With Teddy Bridgewater dealing with a sore shoulder, Sorensen will be a camp arm. There is still not much reason to worry about Bridgewater’s status.

Sorensen was just cut on Monday, but the Vikings need his arm again after Teddy Bridgewater suffered a torn ACL and dislocated knee in Tuesday’s practice. Minnesota will surely look for an upgrade on Sorensen in the coming days. For now, it’s Shaun Hill, Sorensen, and UDFA Joel Stave.

It’s a depth move with Philip Rivers (illness, foot) not fully healthy. Sorensen should serve as the No. 3 quarterback

Sorensen was promoted off San Diego’s practice squad when Phillip Rivers fell ill ahead of Sunday’s loss to Kansas City. Rivers should be feeling better, so Sorensen will likely revert back to the practice squad.

The Bolts cut Sorensen two days ago but were able to bring him back after he went unclaimed on waivers. He’ll serve as the No. 3 QB behind Philip Rivers and Kellen Clemens.

The release comes with an NFI designation. San Diego will move forward with Bryn Renner behind Philip Rivers and Kellen Clemens.

The No. 221 pick of last year’s draft, Sorensen wasn’t active for a single game as a rookie. At best, he’ll bounce around the league as a camp arm the next 2-3 seasons.
