On Monday morning, roughly 36 hours after the preseason breakout performance of rookie running back Elijah Dotson, the Chargers have decided to release third-year back Larry Rountree.
Rountree was selected by the Chargers in the sixth-round of the 2021 NFL draft out of Missouri. In two seasons with the Chargers, Rountree recorded 106 rushing yards and a touchdown on 49 career carries.
