Bud Dupree could secure spot on Chargers' final roster
Summary

Chargers edge rusher Bud Dupree appears to have a strong chance of making the team's final 53-man roster as the 2026 season approaches. Defensive coordinator Chris O'Leary praised Dupree's performance, calling him 'awesome' amid a competitive edge-rusher position. Dupree, entering his 12th season and third with the Chargers, has had a modest tenure in Los Angeles, contributing 44 tackles and 8.0 sacks over two seasons. The team's depth at the edge position has raised questions about his role, but he has been performing well and will need to continue doing so through the regular season.
