Chargers have release final roster
The team will keep four running backs: Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley, Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson.
Dotson impressed many with a strong preseason, which included a pair of long touchdown runs against the Rams. Moore said last week that the Bolts will likely rely on a multi-pronged attack to jumpstart the run game in 2023.

The Bolts will be keeping just two quarterbacks for the first time under Bolts Chargers Head Coach Brandon Staley. Herbert is the centerpiece, of course, to the offense as well as the entire franchise. The quarterback signed a well-deserved, massive multi-year contract extension this offseason that will keep him in powder blue for years to come.
The team will keep four running backs: Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley, Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson.
Dotson impressed many with a strong preseason, which included a pair of long touchdown runs against the Rams. Moore said last week that the Bolts will likely rely on a multi-pronged attack to jumpstart the run game in 2023.
There are five wide receivers include Keenan Allen, Derius Davis, Quentin Johnston, Josh Palmer and Mike Williams.
Palmer had 72 catches for 769 yards. He will once again be a vital part of the unit. Johnston is the Chargers 2023 first-round pick who will add a different play-making element to this group.
Tight ends include the veteran Gerald Everett, Tre’ McKitty, Donald Parham, Jr.
On the Defensive side the group is led by Joseph-Day, who was a team captain in 2022 and brings energy and experience to the room. He’ll be counted upon to lead the group once again along with Fox, who had a career-best 6.5 sacks a year ago and re-signed with the Bolts as a free agent.
Outside linebackers Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, Chris Rumph II and Tuli Tuipulotu.- Bosa and Mack are back again looking to link up as one of the league’s top edge duos. The tandem never got that chance after Bosa missed most of the 2022 season with a groin injury, but each player had added some weight and power to their arsenal as they prepare for a 17-game season.
Inside LB’s Daiyan Henley, Eric Kendricks, Kenneth Murray, Jr., Nick Niemann and Amen Ogbongbemiga. Kendricks is the veteran of the group as he enters his ninth season in the NFL, the first eight of which were with the Vikings. He has been lauded by teammates and coaches for his leadership and communication. Murray put together his best training camp and is healthy as he enters Year 4.
There will be ten defensive backs on the Roster. Michael Davis, AJ Finley, Alohi Gilman, J.C. Jackson, Derwin James, Jr., Raheem Layne, Deane Leonard, Asante Samuel, Jr., Ja’Sir Taylor, and JT Woods
This group is broken down with an even split of five cornerbacks and five safeties. Special teams will be headed by Cameron Dicker, Josh Harris and JK Scott
Dicker won the kicking battle against Dustin Hopkins who was traded to Clevland.
The team opens the season September 10 hosting the Dolphins at SoFi Stadium.
