Chargers Waive RB Isaiah Spiller, T Alex Leatherwood; Get Down To 53

August 27th, 2024 at 7:35pm CST by Ely Allen

The Chargers made their way down to 53 players today with a number of waives and releases:

Released:

TE Donald Parham
LB Shaquille Quarterman

Waived:

G Karsen Barnhart
TE Luke Benson
DL Jerrod Clark
S Akeem Dent
RB Elijah Dotson
OLB Andrew Farmer
TE Tucker Fisk
WR Jaelen Gill
LB Frank Ginda
CB Matt Hankins
S Thomas Harper
TE Zach Heins
DL Christopher Hinton
OLB Savion Jackson
LB Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste
WR Cornelius Johnson
WR Jaylen Johnson
CB Robert Kennedy
C Brent Laing
T Alex Leatherwood
LB Shane Lee
OLB Tre’Mon Morris-Brash
DL CJ Okoye
G Willis Patrick
QB Luis Perez
S Jalyn Phillips
TE Isaac Rex
OLB Ty Shelby
RB Isaiah Spiller
CB Zamari Walton
WR Isaiah Wooden

Placed on IR:

OLB Chris Collins
T Tyler McLellan
OLB Chris Rumph
IOL Bucky Williams

Placed on IR (designated for return):

LB Nick Niemann

There aren’t too many surprises here. Of the veterans, Parham fell victim to the addition of two veteran receiving options, and Quarterman was a long-time special teamer.

Michigan wide receiver Johnson was the only drafted rookie who failed to make the roster after being selected in the seventh round. While no undrafted rookies made the roster either, McLellan and Williams will stick around on the IR, where they will remain out for the year. Niemann will have the option to be activated after four games.

The biggest cuts we otherwise see are Spiller, who got some run as a depth option at running back last year, and Leatherwood. Leatherwood, the former first-round pick out of Alabama, continues to struggle to find his place in the NFL.
