Mitglieder » Wide Receiver Dylan Cantrell to the active roster

The Chargers Forrest Lamp Color Rush Jersey , in a corresponding move with the waiving of Tackle Joe Barksdale, have signed .Cantrell, a Chargers sixth round draft pick back in April, has been on the practice squad since final cuts at the start of September. The 6’3” WR out of Texas Tech had shown some promise early on in training camp and when matching that to his athletic testing and college tape you get why the team has kept him on during the season. The decision to add a sixth WR to the active roster could mean the team is being cautious about the injury that starter Tyrell Williams is dealing with. Tyrell played in the game against the Steelers, and had a huge catch in coverage to keep a drive going Mike Williams Color Rush Jersey , but it’s certainly possible this is insurance in case he can’t go. They also could be looking to rest Tyrell against a team like the Bengals, trying to get him healthy for the end of the season. I’d like to think they are concerned he could get sniped by another team, but maybe that’s just me being optimistic. Either way, I’m excited to see what he can add to this group should he see playing time come Sunday.

The GM Tom Telesco and the Chargers were able to bring back one of Darius Philon Color Rush Jersey , if not the most important internal FA this off season. Bringing back Adrian Phillips is a huge win for this team, and a great move. Phillips was, at this point, one of the best Safeties still on the FA market. He really came into his own last season.I will be the first to admit, early on in Phillips’ career Adrian Phillips Color Rush Jersey , I was one of his biggest critics. I thought he was just bad and couldn’t understand why the staff kept saying things like “he’s one of the smartest guys we have on defense” or talking about how he is one of the best players on the field in practice. I just didn’t see it on the field.Fast forward to 2018 and Adrian Phillips played his ass off. He finished the season with 94 tackles (65 solo), 4 TFL, 9 PD, 1 INT, and 1 FF. He stacked up all those numbers on only 7 starts. That outstanding season earned him not only a Pro-Bowl spot Drew Kaser Color Rush Jersey , but also 1st team All-Pro. And it wasn’t even all on defense, he was a special teams demon this year and a leader on that unit. Phillips has used his excellent football IQ to become an amazingly versatile chess piece that defensive coordinator Gus Bradley used all over the field, which was especially helpful when the Chargers had lost so many LBs that Anthony Lynn was getting fitted for pads. And when I say all over the field, here’s what I mean:Snap counts lined up at different positions:DL - 17BOX (SS/LB) - 658Slot Corner - 41Wide Corner - 7Free Safey - 79Losing Phillips, especially after releasing Jahleel Addae Hunter Henry Color Rush Jersey , would have put the Chargers defense in a pretty tough spot. Keeping Phillips helps stop the hole at S from becoming a canyon, and helps the Chargers while they figure out whats going on at LB this year. It’s also a great move because it shows that the Chargers can actually develop good players and when they do develop, they’ll get rewarded. All eyes now turn to Damion Square and Darius Philon to see if TT can bring back at least one of them to the rapidly shrinking DL group.
