The kick off training camp this week in preparation for what should be an exciting 2024 season.The team has a new general manager and head coach in place, so several positional battles in camp should be quite interesting to keep tabs on. But who makes the final roster?Many things can happen between now and the end of the preseason, but this is our official prediction of how that final roster will look. How does it compare to the 53-man roster ?Los Angeles Chargers 53-man roster prediction before training campQuarterback ( Joe Reed Jersey 2)Justin Herbert, Easton StickCuts: Max Duggan, Casey BaumanKey battle: Stick vs. Duggan: This position doesn't seem too difficult to predict as the team's starting QB is not in question. Duggan and Stick will battle for the backup spot, but Stick gained some good experience filling in for Herbert last season and may have distanced himself further from Duggan than last summer.Running back (4)Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins, Kimani Vidal, Jeff Wilson, Ben Mason (Fullback)Cuts: Isaiah Spiller, Elijah Dotson, Jaret PattersonBold prediction: Isaiah Spiller initially makes the team but is cut shortly after when the Chargers off waivers from the Miami Dolphins.Wide Stephen Anderson Jersey Receiver (6)Joshua Palmer, Ladd McConkey, D.J. Chark, Quentin Johnston, Derius Davis, Brenden RiceCuts: Cornelius Johnson, Simi Fehoko, Jaelen Gill, Leon Johnson, Jaylen Johnson, Praise OlatokeKey battle: Rice vs. Davis vs. Johnson: Two of these three receivers should make it and it could be any Lance Alworth Jersey combination. It's hard to see the team giving up on Davis already but Johnson does have the fact that he played for Harbaugh at Michigan working in his favor.Tight End (3)Will Di sly, Hayden Hurst, Donald ParhamCuts: Zach Heins, Stone Smartt, Luke BensonKey battle: Parham vs. Heins: Many fans like the odds of undrafted free agent Zach Heins making the team, and that could very well happen. But Parham is a big target in the red zone with much more experience than Heins, so Heins may begin his career on the practice squad.Offensive Line (9)Rashawn Slater, Zion Johnson, Bradley Bozeman, Trey Pipkins, Joe Alt, Jamaree Salyer, Brenden Jaimes, Jordan McFadden, Alex LeatherwoodCuts: Karsen J.C. Jackson Jersey Barnhart, Foster Sarell, Tyler McClellan, Willis Patrick, Brent Laing, Bucky WilliamsKey battle: Leatherwood vs. Sarell vs. Barnhart: Battling for one roster spot, Leatherwood gets the nod... for now. But that is betting on him having anything close to what made him a first-round pick at one time. Barnhart is another former Michigan product who will be on the practice squad if not on the final roster.Defensive Line (5)Morgan Fox, Poona Ford, Otito Ogbonnia, Justin Eboigbe, Scott MatlockCuts: Christopher Hinton, CJ Okoye, Michael Mason, Jerrod ClarkOutside Linebacker/Edge (5)Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, Tuli Tuipolotu, Bud DupreeCuts: Chris Rumph, Ty Shelby, Andrew Farmer, Tre'Mon Morris-Brash, Chris Collins, Savion JacksonKey battle: Dupree vs. Rumph: It will be tough for the Chargers to give up on a player who was drafted in the fourth round just three years ago, but Rumph has not been effective in his time with the team and the veteran Dupree was signed for a reason.Inside Linebacker (5)Junior Colson, Denzel Perryman, Daiyan Henley, Troy Dye, Nick NiemannCuts: Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste, Shane LeeCornerback (6)Asante Samuel Jr., Kristian Fulton, Ja'Sir Taylor, Cam Hart, Tarheeb Still, Thomas HarperCuts: Matt Hankins, Zamari Walton, Chris Wilcox, Deane Leonard, Robert KennedySafety (5)Derwin James, Alohi Gilman, JT Woods, Akeem Dent, Tony JeffersonCuts: Donald Parham Jr. Jersey A.J.
