The New England Patriots waived linebacker Caleb Murphy, who was claimed from the Chargers in October 2025. Murphy, a Ferris State alum, played five games with the Patriots mainly on special teams, after stints with the Titans and Chargers. Overall, he has appeared in 19 NFL games with 9 tackles and 10 special teams tackles.
The Chargers' preseason win over the Saints featured standout performances from players like Caleb Murphy with multiple sacks, undrafted cornerback Eric Rogers with two interception returns for touchdowns, Trey Lance showcasing his mobility and leadership, Jamaree Caldwell with disruptive pass rushing, and rookie Dalevon Campbell with a deep reception and touchdown. These performances highlight the team's emerging talent and potential for the upcoming season.
