Chargers Pick Trey Lance as Backup | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers have named Trey Lance as their backup QB behind Justin Herbert, despite underwhelming preseason performances that raised serious questions about his readiness. Lance struggled with accuracy and decision-making, throwing an interception and relying too much on his legs, while DJ Uiagalelei showed better raw stats but lacked consistency. Though Lance reunites with his former OC and brings athleticism to extend plays, his NFL track record—including a poor showing against the Broncos—has left many experts ranking him as a low-ceiling depth option among at least 27 better backups in the league. With a brutal regular-season schedule looming, the Chargers’ QB room now carries a big question mark, and a veteran upgrade may be worth exploring if opportunities arise.
