The Chargers begin training camp in a couple of weeks to prepare for the start of the 2024 season under new head coach Jim Harbaugh.
There, roster spots will be won and lost at The Bolt, the team’s brand-new training facility in El Segundo, CA.
That said, here is my very early prediction for who will make the 53-man roster on the defensive side of the ball.
Edge rusher (4): Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Tuli Tuipulotu, Bud Dupree
Misses the cut: Chris Rumph II, Ty Shelby, Andrew Farmer,
Interior defensive line (5): Poona Ford, Morgan Fox, Justin Eboigbe, Otito Ogbonnia, Chris Hinton
Misses the cut: CJ Okoye, Jerrod Clark
Linebacker (5): Denzel Perryman, Junior Colson, Daiyan Henley, Nick Niemann, Troy Dye
Misses the cut: Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste, Shane Lee
Cornerback (6): Asante Samuel Jr., Kristian Fulton, Ja’Sir Taylor, Deane Leonard, Cam Hart, Tarheeb Still
Misses the cut: Chris Wilcox, Matt Hankins
Safety (4): Derwin James, Alohi Gilman, Tony Jefferson, Akeem Dent
Misses the cut: AJ Finley, JT Woods
