SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Chargers have released rookie third-string quarterback Jonathan Crompton and veterans Josh Reed and Nathan Vasher to reach the 53-man roster limit.
Crompton was a fifth-round draft pick. The Chargers also released tight end Dedrick Epps, a seventh-round pick.
Reed was signed to a one-year deal in mid-June as a pre-emptive move against a long holdout by Pro Bowler Vincent Jackson. Reed was made expendable when the Chargers acquired Patrick Crayton from the Dallas Cowboys on Friday.
Vasher was signed in late March after playing six seasons with the Chicago Bears.
