So next Sunday at 4:05 pm PT, the Saints play at the LA Chargers in another preseason game.

replays on NFL network

Note that Keelan Doss again lead the Chargers in receptions yesterday. ESPN lists him third on the depth chart.

He’s not third. He’s fighting for like WR6. I am freaking rooting for the guy. I want to see him get off the practice squad and be given a real shot!

A glimmer of hope for Keelan:

If they aren't going to keep him, I hope they cut him early and give him a better chance to find another team.

I saw Keelan make some good moves against the 49ers. He was in the game from the start and again lead the Chargers in receptions with 3 for the third straight game. The Niners broadcasters took note of him. I think he has a good chance to make the team.

Chargers waived Doss:

I thought this was it. I can't believe they are not keeping him.

Damn, what a tough ride the NFL has been for Keelan. Maybe someone else will pick him up...??

This article thinks he may end up back on the practice squad. I’d rather see him in a regular roster than back on a practice squad. Maybe he needs to develop a taste for poutine and head north. CFL, USFL, XFL, get some regular playing time. And I’m sure he and his people are looking at everything. Good luck to him!

"Practice squad players make $12,000 per week or $216,000 for 18 weeks. Veteran players with over two years of experience will make a minimum of $16,100 per week or $289,800 for 18 weeks, and a maximum of $20,600 per week or $370,800 for 18 weeks."

Good Money

Chargers re-sign Doss to practice squad:

The Chargers have 8 wide receivers on their roster, but two of them are on IR and one is out for the season, so I'm hoping Doss gets called up for depth.

Chargers WR Mike Williams suffered an ACL tear on Sunday and is out for the season. There has been some speculation that Keelan might be activated from the practice squad https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/what_the_mike_williams_injury_means_for_the_chargers_wide_receiver_corps/s1_17198_39308557 , however the Chargers signed Simi Fehoko off of the Steelers practice squad. https://www.chargers.com/news/chargers-simi-fehoko-wide-receiver-5-things-to-know Sorta sucks.

I just don't get it especially since Keelan performed really well in the pre-season.

And especially taking someone from another team's practice squad. Not some starter or regular roster back-up....

I bet there are dumb contract reasons, i.e. if he hits a certain number of days on the main team from the practice team, he's due x-dollars and the new guy isn't.

Doss played 9 snaps (5 on offense and 4 on special teams) but did not get any stats. Sent back to the practice squad but might be back on the roster next game.

Doss is now the 10th Aggie to play for multiple NFL teams, and therefore Immaculate Grid eligible

Hard to believe he's already 27 which is a long time to be hanging around the NFL for anyone who wasn't drafted. He's gotta be showing them something.

Doss elevated to the roster ahead of tonight’s game

Kudos to Doss for fighting to play on Sunday. Life is long and I always admire any athlete that will work hard to get the last steps out of their career. I hope he stays healthy and can leave the game on his terms.

What a life....back to the practice squad: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/keelan-doss-heads-back-to-practice-squad/

"In his second appearance of the 2023 campaign, Doss played 10 offensive snaps but failed to draw a target. The Chargers will be able to burn one more standard elevation on Doss before they'd have to sign him to the active roster for him to be eligible to suit up."

Elevated for today's game

ESPN listed Doss as second on the Chargers depth chart yesterday, but he did not catch a pass. I watched part of the game and did not see him on the field.

I didn't see the whole game either. I wonder, if he did get in, if there were any passes aimed for him?

No targets, which are now a part of the box score

...and....back to the practice quad:
