Chargers make roster moves ahead of battle with Broncos
The Los Angeles Chargers made strategic roster adjustments ahead of their high-stakes Week Five matchup against the Denver Broncos. The team activated fullback Scott Matlock and offensive lineman Branson Taylor from the injured reserve list, both of whom had missed the first four weeks of the season.
To accommodate these moves, backup quarterback Trey Lance and offensive guard Trevor Penning were placed on injured reserve, while the Chargers also elevated offensive tackle Daniel Brunskill and cornerback Isas Waxter to the active roster for the game. Additionally, the team signed wide receiver Theo Wease, utilizing the roster spot freed up by left tackle Rashawn Slater’s earlier placement on injured reserve.
These adjustments come as the Chargers look to strengthen their lineup for a critical divisional clash. The activations of Matlock and Taylor could provide depth and flexibility on both the offensive line and in the backfield, while the addition of Wease adds another receiving option.
Brunskill and Waxter’s elevations mark their first appearances on the game-day roster, signaling potential key contributions in their respective positions.
