Larry Rountree III On The Roster Bubble
1 year agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Larry Rountree III made the active 53-man roster to open the regular season last year, but he was waived on Aug. 31, a day after final cuts, to make room for Sony Michel. Rountree spent the season going back and forth between the practice squad and active roster, and he cleared waivers multiple times during the year. The Athletic's Daniel Popper thinks the Chargers will be best off rolling with Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and Isaiah Spiller to open the 2023 season, which would leave Rountree on the practice squad. The 24-year-old former sixth-rounder averaged just 1.5 yards per carry on 13 rushing attempts over four games in his second NFL season in 2022 and remains well off the fantasy radar.
