Chargers Acquire Austin Deculus Trade, Lose Trevor Keegan to Cowboys

The Los Angeles Chargers have bolstered their offensive line depth by trading a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick to acquire tackle Austin Deculus from the Houston Texans. Deculus, a former sixth-round pick in 2022, has NFL experience with the Texans, Jets, and Saints, and played college football at LSU where he was a key part of a national championship team. He is expected to compete for the Chargers' swing tackle role alongside Jamaree Salyer. Meanwhile, the Chargers missed out on adding offensive lineman Trevor Keegan, who was claimed by the Dallas Cowboys after being waived by the Philadelphia Eagles, a setback for the Chargers given their need for interior line depth. The Chargers have finalized their 53-man roster, which includes running back Najee Harris but excludes quarterback Taylor Heinicke, leaving Trey Lance as the backup to Justin Herbert. These moves reflect the Chargers' efforts to improve their offensive line and overall roster depth ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
