One of those players to be given his walking papers this weekend is wide receiver Vincent Brown, who never recovered from an injury he suffered and is of no use to the Chargers while hurt.
According to Chargers beat writer Michael Gehlken, Brown will play in the NFL this year, it just won’t be for the Chargers.
WR Vincent Brown won't be on Chargers' 53-man roster, source says. Calf injury healing. Expected to play this season. Not for them.

The loss of Brown may not affect the Chargers too much as they’re starting to move in a new direction with their offense and other weapons have begun to spring up to replace Brown’s production.
Still, he’s been a big target for Philip Rivers in the past which means that not having him around will put an emphasis on the younger receivers to step up and make a name for themselves in 2014.
