The Los Angeles Chargers have released offensive lineman Ben Cleveland, formerly of the Georgia Bulldogs, shortly before training camp begins. Cleveland, a third-round draft pick in 2021, was signed to the Chargers' practice squad after being released by the Baltimore Ravens in January 2026. He had played 64 career NFL games but was suspended for three games due to a substance abuse policy violation. Cleveland's versatility allowed him to play both guard positions and contribute on special teams. He will seek a new opportunity with another NFL team ahead of the preseason.
