Among their first six cuts of training camp, the Chargers released wide receiver Andre Patton, who was technically their WR3 during the 2019 season. But I mean, what’s the point of being the WR3 when you’re also, like, pass-catcher seven or eight at the same time?
With Patton’s release, it opens the doors a little bit wider for the rest of the receivers on the roster. Hill and Reed may not have as much of a competition anymore and a young wideout near the bottom now has a better chance of earning a final roster spot.
