Easton Stick Has Backup Job Locked Down
1 year agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick has the backup job locked down behind starter Justin Herbert. The Athletic's Daniel Popper doesn't see rookie Max Duggan challenging Stick for the backup job this summer in training camp. NFL owners approved a new bylaw for 2023 that allows teams to designate an emergency third QB on game days as long as that QB is on the 53-man active roster. Keeping Duggan would allow the Bolts to take advantage of the new rule. The alternative is keeping a different player over Duggan on the 53-man roster. Stick, a fifth-round pick in 2019, has played just two regular-season offensive snaps. However, the 27-year-old can make plays with his legs as well as with his arm.
