Josh Palmer - Locked in No. 3 role Palmer secured the Chargers' No. 3 receiver role after the team waived Tyron Johnson on Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Given the big-play ability Johnson's displayed last season, the Chargers' decision to cut him is somewhat surprising. Jalen Guyton (leg) is still around as a downfield option -- a useful asset to have considering the team's top two wideouts, Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, are far from burners -- but it's clear the Chargers likes Palmer as an intermediate threat. The rookie's role in what should be an explosive offense will be something to monitor in the team's opener Sept. 12 against Washington.

Justin Jackson - Sheds injury, returns to practice Jackson (groin) participated in Tuesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact It'll be interesting to see how the Chargers utilize Jackson after the team opted to keep both Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree on the roster, instead waiving talented wide receiver Tyron Johnson as one of the team's final cuts. The Northwestern product had all but locked up the backup job behind Austin Ekeler earlier this preseason, but a multi-week groin injury kept Jackson away for most of training camp allowing Kelley and Rountree to possibly earn more regular-season snaps. The 25-year-old is likely best considered a change-of-pace option out of the backfield as opposed to a true backup to Ekeler, but his true utility within the offense could be even more ambiguous after the latest injury issue.

K.J. Hill Jr. - Back at practice Hill (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Chargers had been extra cautious with a number of skill-position players this preseason, including Hill, but considering no information was released regarding the severity of the injury, it's safe to assume the second-year returner won't be hindered in the future. The surprising waive of Tyron Johnson leaves Hill as the team's No. 5 wide receiver on the depth chart, although he'll probably see more usage as the Chargers' punt returner.

Mike Williams - Returns to practice Williams (hip) participated in practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Williams had been held out of practice since mid August with a hip flexor, but the injury never seemed serious. It's fair to say that as this point, all systems are go for the big-bodied wideout ahead of the team's opener Sept. 12 against Washington.

Tristan Vizcaino - Wins job over Badgley Vizcaino won a job battle with Michael Badgley, who was cut by the Chargers on Tuesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Vizcaino thus figures to enter Week 1 as the team's kicker, attached to an ascending offense led by QB Justin Herbert, WR Keenan Allen and RB Austin Ekeler, along with a revamped offensive line that got three high-profile additions in the offseason. However, Vizcaino has just one NFL appearance to his name, and fantasy mangers aren't wrong to be wary of an untested kicker in a Chargers uniform. A Week 1 trip to Washington isn't appealing, but Vizcaino could enter streaming consideration for potential shootouts in Week 2 (vs. DAL), Week 3 (at KC) and Week 4 (vs. LV). Of course, he's one or two bad games away from losing his job, and the Chargers may even keep a kicker on the practice squad.
