The tiebreaker the LA Chargers will use to round out the 53-man roster is the same tiebreaker that every team in the league uses: special teams impact. Those at the back end of the roster need to contribute on special teams to survive. That's always been the case.
This gives Chargers fans an idea of who the team is going to keep on the 53-man roster this season. However, there are always room for surprises and special teams coordinator Ryan Ficken gave fans quite the surprise when speaking to reporters on Monday.
Ficken was asked specifically about the linebacker room and which players he projects to be in the special teams rotation.
