The first cuts from Chargers camp don’t include any surprising names nor does it include many names familiar to those who haven’t spent the summer paying very close attention to the team’s practices.
Quarterback Chase Rettig, wide receiver Titus Davis, linebacker Curtis Grant, cornerback Manny Asprilla, defensive lineman Cameron Botticelli, running back Jahwan Edwards, tackle Forrestal Hickman, tight end David Paulson, tight end Logan Stokes and defensive lineman Luther Robinson were all waived by the team on Sunday while linebacker Brock Hekking was waived/injured. Hekking injured his foot against the Seahawks over the weekend and will revert to injured reserve if he’s unclaimed.
Paulson was a seventh-round pick by the Steelers in 2012 and had 14 catches for Pittsburgh before being released prior to the start of the 2014 season. He spent time on the Chargers practice squad last year.
San Diego needs to make four more cuts by Tuesday’s deadline to get to 75 players and then they’ll need to clear 22 more players off their roster by Saturday.
