"Vikings WR Randy Moss may not be the only Pro Bowler who will hit the NFL's waiver wire this afternoon.

Chargers LB Shawne Merriman is scheduled to take a formality physical with the team today and provided he passes for his injured calf will be waived by San Diego, FOXsports.com has learned.

Merriman was placed on special injured reserve list earlier this season that called for the team to release him upon him passing a physical. If he fails it then he'll remain with the Chargers until he can pass a physical. Like Moss, because Merriman will be released after the NFL's trade deadline he is required to go through the waiver process rather than become an immediate unrestricted free agent."
