Undrafted Star Shines in Chargers Win | San Antonio News

Undrafted rookie Amar Johnson stole the show in the Chargers’ 27-7 preseason win over the Texans, rushing for two touchdowns and hauling in a jaw-dropping 55-yarder to seal the victory. Backup QB Trey Lance connected with Johnson on key plays, while star QBs C.J. Stroud and Justin Herbert sat out. The Texans’ Davis Mills started but was forced back in after backup Graham Mertz went down — Mills finished with 82 yards. Rookie highlights included Akheem Mesidor and Jake Slaughter for the Chargers, and Keylan Rutledge and Kayden McDonald for the Texans. Kickers also got their moment, with Cameron Dicker nailing field goals. Both teams return next Thursday — Chargers host SF, Texans face Vegas — giving coaches plenty to evaluate as training camp winds down.
