Chargers' Practice Squad Gems | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers made tough roster cuts, trading draft picks to keep Avery Smith and TeRah Edwards — players other teams might’ve snatched up. Surprisingly, Kyle Kennard and Junior Colson were released but both bounced back to the practice squad. Coach Harbaugh calls it the “opportunity squad” — these guys are always ready to step in if injuries strike. Running back Gregory Desrosiers, who quietly exploded against the Rams with speed and agility, could be the next RB off the bench. Cornerback Nikko Reed, a familiar face from last year, might get his shot if the secondary gets shaken up. And linebacker Junior Colson? Despite being a third-round pick, he’s still developing — and could be called up if the veteran starter stays sidelined.
