Chargers Face 49ers With Key Absences | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers gear up for their second preseason showdown against the 49ers, with starters getting a crucial live test before the regular season. After a strong win over the Texans, coach Jim Harbaugh plans to limit starters to one series — but injuries hit hard: center Tyler Biadasz is out indefinitely, pushing rookie Jake Slaughter back into the lineup, while tackle Rashawn Slater remains sidelined. QB Justin Herbert continues refining his new scheme and will face a fresh defensive challenge, calling it vital prep for varied coverages. On defense, Chris O’Leary’s unit showed flashes of speed and physicality in practice, hoping to disrupt San Francisco’s offense again. And watch for Tuli Tuipulotu — fully healthy and eager — as he could see game action despite contract talks, adding intrigue to an already loaded matchup.
