Chargers Preseason Preview & Roster Battles | Los Angeles Chargers News

Chargers open preseason in Houston with starters sitting out—Justin Herbert and key players held back for a “ramp up” strategy. Rookie Jake Slaughter gets reps at center while Branson Taylor locks down left guard. Akheem Mesidor dominates on defense, Genesis Smith nearly scores an interception, and the offensive line remains unsettled without Tyler Biadasz. Behind Herbert, Trey Lance’s shaky performance—including an early pick—opens the door for DJ Uiagalelei to seize momentum. With Harbaugh calling the shots, this preseason is shaping up as a critical audition for the 2024 season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
