Craig Mager was finally going to get his chance.
Relegated mainly to special teams duties in the first half of the Chargers’ final preseason game last week, the cornerback found himself lined up over the 49ers tight end on the first play of the second half.
Noticing that his assigned receiver was staying on the line to block and pausing ever so quickly to make sure it wasn’t a trick, Mager did what the Chargers coaches have taught him to. Mager came sprinting off the edge, drilling the quarterback for a big sack.
It was a play that certainly helped Mager, who was on the bubble, make the Chargers – for all of 24 hours.
As players all over the league have learned, the only guarantee in the NFL is continuous change, where players are shuffled on and off of rosters depending on the needs of the team.
“It’s always fluid,” Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco said. “There never really is a final roster.”
Mager and wide receiver Geremy Davis were Sunday’s casualties as the Chargers were active on the waiver wire, claiming guard Michael Schofield from Denver and cornerback Jeff Richards from Carolina.
