The Chargers have dropped their roster to 83 players, as the club announced several roster moves on top of the already-reported release of James Jones and waiver claim of running back Gus Johnson. San Diego will still need to make eight cuts before 3pm Tuesday.
Placed on reserve/PUP:
Waived:
- WR Torrence Allen
- C Bruce Johnson
- CB Michael Lee
- LB Zach Hodges
- DT Bruce Gaston
- CB Greg Ducre
Watt, a former third-round pick, will miss the first six weeks of the season before being eligible to return to the field. The 26-year-old has started eight games during his first two years in the league, but with free agent signee Matt Slauson poised to start at center, Watt will merely serve as depth unless an injury strikes.
