With the emergence of Melvin Gordon, Brown’s job was in jeopardy. The Chargers already have Danny Woodhead, Branden Oliver and Gordon. Donald Brown was a healthy scratch the first three games of the season, him being cut today was just a matter of time. The injuries to the line, forced the Chargers hand. Brown will surely land somewhere in a backup role.
