Chargers Waive Ex-Titan Abbott

Former Cal State Fullerton kicker Vince Abbott, former Ram tight end Tony Hunter and running back Lionel James were among eight players waived Saturday by the San Diego Chargers.

Abbott, 30, was the team’s starting kicker most of the past two years. But he missed his two field goal attempts this preseason--including a 27-yarder in the Chargers’ 17-14 loss in San Francisco Wednesday--and couldn’t beat out Chris Bahr or Steve DeLine.
