The Los Angeles Chargers made no move at the NFL trade deadline, to the disappointment of at least some of the fanbase.
But they did start making schedule changes after the deadline.
On Tuesday prior to Week 10, the Chargers released tight end Eric Tomlinson, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson.
No corresponding move yet, but it’s a sign that something else is on the line this week — and a player like wideout Simi Fehoko could be headed to injured reserve as well.
Tomlinson was one of the guys we listed as a trade candidate to actually leave the Chargers before the deadline. He was firmly stuck behind Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst in a position that largely disappointed Justin Herbert.
Presumably, Tomlinson will return to the practice squad. With needs remaining at spots like corner and even the interior offensive line, the Chargers will likely keep an eye on free agents and the waiver wire this week.
