Update:

ESPN’s Ed Werder reports that the Chargers fined S Eric Weddle because he violated a team policy by not being in the locker room for their halftime adjustments.

According to Werder, Weddle never requested permission to watch his daughter perform at halftime.

Werder confirms that none of the four players placed on injured reserve will travel with the team for their season finale this weekend.

Kevin Acee of the Union Tribune reports that the Chargers fined veteran S Eric Weddle $10,000 for remaining on the field Sunday to watch his daughter perform during a dance ceremony at halftime of the game against the Dolphins.

According to Acee, Weddle is “stunned“and “furious” with the team’s decision to fine him for this.

Beyond that, the Chargers have reportedly told Weddle there isn’t room for him on the team plane for him to the season finale against the Broncos.

This further implies that Weddle won’t be back with the Chargers next year.
