Chargers Backup QB Battle | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers’ backup QB battle between Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei ended with Lance getting the nod — mostly by default, as neither showed the poise or consistency needed to step in if Justin Herbert misses time. Preseason stats were underwhelming: Lance threw for 237 yards with 1 INT, Uiagalelei had 341 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs — but neither commanded the pocket or looked ready to lead. With the Jaguars trading for Quinn Ewers, veteran Nick Mullens is now available — a proven NFL backup with 8 seasons, 6,448 yards, and 34 TDs. While not a superstar, Mullens offers the steady, reliable presence the Chargers might need to avoid being stuck with a shaky backup.
