Marlowe Wax may simply need to bide his time for his true Chargers opportunity

Bolt Beat's G.C. Bellchamber argues that Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Marlowe Wax could see a larger defensive opportunity beyond 2026 despite currently being sidelined. Although Wax impressed during the preseason with 13 tackles and an 87.8 run-defense grade from Pro Football Focus, he has logged just 11 defensive snaps through the team's 0-6 start while playing primarily on special teams.

Bellchamber notes that upcoming free agency could reshape the position group, as Denzel Perryman, Daiyan Henley, and Troy Dye are all set to hit the open market. While Del'Shawn Phillips secured the starting role in Perryman's absence, Wax's athleticism and roster standing position him to potentially claim a substantial role in the future.
