Chargers finalize 53-man roster projection after preseason finale
Summary

The Chargers concluded their final preseason game against the Rams, losing 20-18 at SoFi Stadium. Following the match, analysts provided an updated 53-man roster projection, identifying key players likely to secure spots on the team. Quarterback Trey Lance's position remains unclear, with DJ Uiagalelei showing promise for the practice squad. Recent evaluations highlighted running back Greg Desrosiers Jr.'s standout performance, which complicates the depth chart as the team nears roster cuts.
