As he tries to follow in his father’s footsteps, receiver Brenden Rice has encountered a pothole.
Rice will be waived by the Chargers, via Mike Garafolo of NFL Media.
Rice is the son of Jerry Rice, a Hall of Famer and the pre-Tom Brady undisputed GOAT.
Brenden was a seventh-round pick of the Chargers in 2024. He appeared in three games as a rookie, participating in three offensive snaps and 10 special-teams plays.
Per Garafolo, a spot on the practice squad “is possible” for Rice.
