The axman came, and he wasn’t very nice. Among the players released by the Chargers in order to make the 53-man roster requirement are: LB Antwan Applewhite, LB Eric Bakhtiari, WR Gary Banks, S Tra Battle (even after the 2 INTs Saturday night), CB Josh Bell, TE Wade Betschart, S Brian Bonner, RB Eldra Buckley (even with the game-winning TD Saturday), DE Andre Coleman, DT Lamar Divens, G Brandyn Dombrowski, DE Keith Grennan, DT Keith Jackson, WR Mark Jones, T Tyler Luellen, LB Terna Nande, T Tony Pape, LB Carlos Polk (WHAT?!?!), G Erik Robertson, and RB Marcus Thomas.
Also, TE Scott Chandler was placed on IR with a season-ending toe injury. Additionally, there are 8 spots open on the practice roster so hopefully players like Buckley and Battle will stay in San Diego.
