Chargers Preseason Struggles Exposed | Los Angeles Chargers News

from Los Angeles Chargers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Chargers fall flat again, losing 41-17 to the 49ers in preseason, with Justin Herbert’s starters barely getting a chance and backups Trey Lance and DJ Uiagalelei combining for under 150 yards and one TD. Defense saw limited reps, key players like Khalil Mack and Derwin James sat out. But bright spots emerged: rookie cornerbacks Avery Smith and Rodney Shelley impressed with tackles and breakups, while rookie linebacker Junior Colson stunned with a pick-six touchdown despite injury struggles. The run game? Still sluggish — backs got few yards, possibly due to line play or overthinking plays. Roster battles are heating up, and this one might not be the last we see of these rookies making their case. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
