He could see a significant role in the regular season, depending on how healthy Kennard is going into Week 1 -- he missed time during training camp with an undisclosed injury. Phillips, who is going into his sixth season, was just recently activated from the physically unable to perform list but earns a spot because of his special team's prowess and experience. [U][URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4431467/marlowe-wax']Marlowe Wax[/URL] will be the toughest cut here, as the undrafted rookie free agent has been one of the team's most impressive players.[/U][B] FADIL DIGGS* DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (10):[/B] [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/13971/cameron-jordan']Cameron Jordan[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4241986/chase-young']Chase Young[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3918310/carl-granderson']Carl Granderson[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4429073/fadil-diggs']Fadil Diggs[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4240475/chris-rumph-ii']Chris Rumph II[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4428988/bryan-bresee']Bryan Bresee[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3115383/davon-godchaux']Davon Godchaux[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4076951/nathan-shepherd']Nathan Shepherd[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4429040/vernon-broughton']Vernon Broughton[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4384595/khristian-boyd']Khristian Boyd[/URL] It felt like a toss-up between Saunders and Shepherd going into camp, but the Saints showed their cards in the second preseason, sitting Shepherd and trading Saunders to the Jaguars. [U][URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4426457/isaiah-foskey']Isaiah Foskey[/URL] made the roster before camp, but rookie Diggs has quickly surpassed him.[/U] With Saunders gone, Boyd gets the last roster spot. [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4248047/john-ridgeway']John Ridgeway III[/URL] was recently injured and is a potential candidate for injured reserve if his pec issue is long term. [B]LEQUINT ALLEN* RUNNING BACKS (4)[/B]: [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4239996/travis-etienne-jr']Travis Etienne Jr[/URL]., [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4429013/tank-bigsby']Tank Bigsby[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4882093/bhayshul-tuten']Bhayshul Tuten[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4911851/lequint-allen-jr']LeQuint Allen Jr[/URL]. It looks like a committee approach here, because the Jaguars like featuring Tuten's speed (especially as a pass catcher), [U]and Allen is the best pass protector in the group. Those two rookies will play a lot, which will take away some work from Etienne and Bigsby. [/U]Etienne also will be a fixture in the pass game. [B]ORONDE GADSDEN* TIGHT ENDS (3):[/B] [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3915486/tyler-conklin']Tyler Conklin[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4595342/oronde-gadsden-ii']Oronde Gadsden II[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3127292/will-dissly']Will Dissly[/URL] On paper, this tight end group is the most well-rounded the Chargers have had in recent memory. [U]The hope is that Gadsden, a rookie fifth-rounder, emerges as a reliable pass catcher. His performance this offseason has shown that he might be that player.[/U][B] KYLE MCCORD QUARTERBACKS (3):[/B] [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4040715/jalen-hurts']Jalen Hurts[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4426875/sam-howell']Sam Howell[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4685201/tanner-mckee']Tanner McKee[/URL] The Eagles acquired Howell from the Vikings on Sunday. He can serve as the No. 2 if McKee (injured finger on throwing hand) isn't ready for the start of the season and then can transition to a solid third option. [U]Rookie [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4433971/kyle-mccord']Kyle McCord[/URL] was in that No. 3 role this summer but needs more seasoning.[/U][B] JAKSON MEEKS* WIDE RECEIVERS (7): [/B][URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4374302/amon-ra-st-brown']Amon-Ra St. Brown[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4426388/jameson-williams']Jameson Williams[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/2973405/kalif-raymond']Kalif Raymond[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3134353/tim-patrick']Tim Patrick[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/5123663/isaac-teslaa']Isaac TeSlaa[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4596439/dominic-lovett']Dominic Lovett[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4602788/jackson-meeks']Jackson Meeks[/URL]. [U]Meeks, undrafted out of Syracuse, has likely earned a spot in a talented room after a strong preseason in which he logged 171 receiving yards and two touchdowns over games against Atlanta and Miami. [/U]Rookies TeSlaa and Lovett were also productive and could contribute to the squad on special teams.
