With NFL teams looking to downsize their rosters to 53 players, the Chargers reportedly opted on Monday to waive a former Heisman hopeful fresh off a national championship game appearance.
Los Angeles plans to release rookie quarterback and former TCU star Max Duggan ahead of Tuesday’s roster-cut deadline, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
A seventh-round pick this past April, Duggan, 22, arrived to the Chargers looking to continue the momentum he built during a standout career in the Big 12. The promising QB looked to earn a spot behind starter Justin Herbert throughout training camp, a battle that has now been seemingly won by veteran backup Easton Stick.
