The Los Angeles Chargers have one of the best trios of pass-rushers in all of football and should be able to generate a ton of pressure on opposing quarterbacks this season.
Training camp is now underway and after recently taking a look at the depth chart along the defensive line, it's now time to look at the pecking order at edge rusher as we get closer to wrapping up these position previews.
The starters at edge rusher are obvious, but where will the help come from if either of those players goes down with an injury, which was the case last season?
Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher depth chart
Starters
Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack
No surprises here. When healthy, Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack are as feared as any pass-rush duo in the league. Bosa missed a huge chunk of the season last year and Mack is now 33 years old so solid reinforcements are needed. Luckily, this team has some.

Second-Tier
Tuli Tuipolotu, Bud Dupree
Tuli Tuipolotu had a strong rookie season with 53 tackles and 4.5 sacks, but his biggest impact was in showing the team the spark he could provide at any given time. He may have been better than most realized and his ceiling is extremely high.
Bud Dupree was signed as a free agent in the offseason and the veteran brings plenty of experience and 53 career sacks, including 6.5 with the Atlanta Falcons last year.
Third-string
Chris Rumph, Ty Shelby
Chris Rumph will battle Dupree for playing time but if he is defeated soundly by him in training camp, his time with the team could be on thin ice.
Others
Tre'mon Morris-Brash, Chris Collins, Andrew Farmer, Savion Jackson
This group features several undrafted players, including Andrew Farmer who was part of last season's undrafted crop. He saw some time on the active roster following Bosa's injury.
Morris-Brash had 26 career sacks in college at Central Florida and could be one to watch in camp.
