Chargers Cut Draft Picks After Struggles | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers made bold moves by releasing two high-potential draft picks, Kyle Kennard and Junior Colson, signaling a tough love approach to roster construction.

Kennard lacked intensity and playing time, while Colson’s injury history overshadowed his preseason highlights, including a pick-six. The team is now leaning toward undrafted free agents Nadame Tucker and Marlowe Wax, who impressed more during camp. With waivers likely to clear paths for Kennard and Colson to return to the practice squad, the Chargers are betting on development over pedigree.
