The Chargers waived Nabers on Tuesday.
Nabers caught two passes for eight yards, including a two-point conversion, across three preseason appearances. The third-year fullback appeared in 26 contests over the last two seasons with the Chargers, so he'll be a likely candidate to return on a practice squad deal if he clears waivers.

Gabe Nabers: Cut loose by Chargers

Nabers was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.
In a surprising twist the Chargers will opt to carry zero fullbacks on their roster for the first time since 2015. Nabers had supposedly beaten out Bobby Holly for the starting role prior to Saturday, so it's possible the team could bring back Nabers as a practice squad candidate if it opts for more roster flexibility.

Chargers' Gabe Nabers: Lines up deal with Chargers
Rotowire
Nabers signed a one-year contract with the Chargers following the NFL Draft.
The switch from college head coach Jimbo Fisher to Willie Taggart likely helped Nabers secure an NFL future, as the talented athlete transitioned to tight end once the new regime began at Florida State. In two seasons at tight end, Nabers caught 18 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns, but it seems likely the Chargers will ask him to play fullback in an effort to find a replacement for Derek Watt, who signed with the Steelers this offseason.
