Zach Mettenberger: Waived by San Diego
Zach Mettenberger was released by the Chargers on Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Mettenberger didn't even play in San Diego's last two preseason games, as he'd fallen behind both Kellen Clemens and undrafted rookie Mike Bercovici on the depth chart. The 2014 sixth-round selection owns an 0-10 record in 10 career starts, and he may not find an NFL home this season. Meanwhile, Clemens will likely serve as the top backup to Philip Rivers.

Chargers' Zach Mettenberger: Does not play Friday
Zach Mettenberger did not play during Friday's preseason win over the Cardinals.Despite default starting QB Philip Rivers resting on the sideline, Mettenberger saw veteran backup Kellen Clemens and undrafted rookie Mike Bercovici take the majority of the snaps throughout the contest on Friday. A starter for the Titans when now current San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt was the head coach, many assumed Mettenberger could earn the No. 2 spot if he performed well during the preseason. That doesn't appear to be in the cards, however, as he has been seemingly bypassed on the depth chart by both Clemens and Bercovici and could be in danger of being released.

Chargers' Zach Mettenberger: Awful in Chargers debut
Zach Mettenberger was awful in his preseason debut Saturday, completing just two of eight passes for 22 yards with an interception against the Titans.The Titans certainly justified their decision to waive the 25-year-old quarterback this offseason in favor of veteran backup Matt Cassel. Mettenberger showed why he's winless in 10 career pro starts, and will need to turn it around immediately if he wants to beat out Kellen Clemens for the No.2 spot in San Diego.

Zach Mettenberger: Waived by Titans
Zach Mettenberger has been waived by the Titans, The Tennessean reports.Mettenberger started 10 games across his two seasons in Tennessee, combining for 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, but the Titans sought a more experienced backup to quarterback Marcus Mariota, thus signing veteran Matt Cassel earlier this offseason. With Cassel joining the Titans, Mettenberger's path to reps was even more crowded, so now the 24-year-old will get the opportunity to go through OTAs and training camp elsewhere. At 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, Mettenberger's size and arm strength should make him an intriguing option for teams in the market for a reserve signal-caller.

Titans' Zach Mettenberger: Likely to remain a Titan in 2016
Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson would like to keep Zach Mettenberger (forearm) in Tennessee this coming season, despite the offseason acquisition of veteran free-agent Matt Cassel, the Nashville Post reports.Quarterback depth isn't easy to come by in the NFL, and Robinson would prefer to keep his options open behind starter Marcus Mariota rather than deal Mettenberger to a quarterback-needy destination. Mettenberger saw meaningful action in six games last season, but the 24-year-old will have to beat out Cassel and hope for an injury to Mariota in order to have a realistic chance of contributing for the Titans in 2016.

Titans' Zach Mettenberger: Will start Week 17
Zach Mettenberger will start against the Colts on Sunday with Marcus Mariota (knee) sidelined.Mettenberger will be at the helm once again Sunday when the 3-12 Tennessee Titans finish off their season against the Colts. It'll be Mettenberger's fourth start of the 2015 campaign, and he's coming off a one touchdown, two-turnover performace last Sunday against the Texans. Should the Titans be down for most of the contest this weekend, Mettenberger could have plenty of chances to throw the ball, but he's not an ideal option in most formats.
