With the NFL preseason all wrapped up, it's time for teams to cut down their rosters to just 53. From 90, it's inevitable that players will find themselves on the outside looking in or, at the very least, on the practice squad with room to improve and be signed at any time.
Former Florida State quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei was one such player today and was waived by the Los Angeles Chargers after losing out on the backup job to former third-overall pick Trey Lance, per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
Uiagalelei, who had a productive college career with the Clemson Tigers and Oregon State Beavers, was an undrafted free agent in 2025. In college, he threw for 9,384 passing yards and 61 touchdowns. He was a solid rusher as well, netting another 1,124 yards and 21 touchdowns.
He appeared in three preseason NFL games this season, throwing for 341 yards and two touchdowns with a 57.1% completion percentage.
At Florida State, Uiagalelei threw for 1,065 yards and four touchdowns before a finger injury took him out of action in the fifth game of the season.
