Chargers vs. 49ers Showdown: Can Marlowe Wax and Luke Grimm Defy Odds to Secure Final Roster Spots?
Don’t blame them if they covered their faces and peered between the cracks of their fingers.AdvertisementRunning back/returner Nyheim Miller-Hines showed the explosiveness and burst that helped him make rosters earlier in his NFL career. He missed the past two seasons after sustaining a serious knee injury in a watercraft accident. He had a smooth punt return Saturday that was nullified by a penalty.His performance was especially timely considering the Chargers have yet to get Najee Harris back on the field because of an eye injury.Advertisement

Uneven performance for rookie QB
Grimm muffed two punts against the 49ers, withering turnovers that could not have come at a worse time for him.Wax made three outstanding plays in a row, each better than the last. The former captain at Syracuse came into the final preseason game with 15 tackles and one sack. On a series in the second quarter, he limited a swing pass to Isaac Guerendo to a one-yard gain, then stonewalled the 49ers running back at the line of scrimmage on the next play. Then, on third down, Wax shot a gap and had a strip sack of quarterback Tanner Mordecai.AdvertisementChargers running back Nyheim Miller-Hines carries the ball against the 49ers on Saturday.
