The Chargers have a much deeper linebacker group this year than in 2018, as the team would prefer to not play all of their defensive backs in their place when the postseason rolls around.
Nick Dzubnar, a linebacker for the Chargers for many years, was oddly retained on the 53-man roster instead of better preseason players like Artavis Scott, Anthony Lanier, or Adarius Pickett. Why was he kept?
Turns out, Denzel Perryman is still trying to come back from an injury that forced him to miss the entire preseason. Anthony Lynn has stated the linebacker was getting late fourth-quarter reps because he was knocking the rust off still.
