Chargers News: Savion Jackson Cut Again as Chargers Begin Trimming to 53

As the deadline to trim rosters to 53 players approaches, the Chargers have started making their cuts, with outside linebacker Savion Jackson once again finding himself on the chopping block. The Bolts, like the rest of the league, have until 4:00 p.m. ET to finalize their roster, and Jackson’s release marks the beginning of what could be a series of unexpected moves.

The NFL’s roster cutdown day is always filled with tough decisions and surprises, and the Chargers are no exception. As of today, the team still has several key questions to address. One of the most pressing issues is whether they will retain seven wide receivers, especially after Simi Fehoko’s standout performances during the preseason. Fehoko has shown promise, but with a deep receiver room, his spot is far from guaranteed.

Another area of uncertainty lies in the secondary. Former third-round pick JT Woods faces stiff competition from AJ Finley and veteran Tony Jefferson, both of whom have outperformed him in recent weeks. Will Woods’ draft pedigree be enough to secure his place on the roster, or will the Chargers opt for the players who have shown more on the field?

Savion Jackson’s release isn’t entirely shocking. He was previously cut earlier this month before being re-signed by the team, only to be let go again as the Chargers inch closer to their final 53-man roster. Jackson’s journey has been turbulent, but the NFL’s cutdown day often brings about such uncertainties.

As the clock ticks down to the deadline, the Chargers’ front office is undoubtedly weighing all options, balancing potential with performance, and experience with upside. With the potential for more surprising cuts on the horizon, today’s decisions will shape the Chargers' roster and set the stage for the upcoming season.
