Overview

• Jim Harbaugh confirmed no Chargers starters will play at Levi’s Stadium in the preseason finale.
• The quarterback script is set: Trey Lance opens for one to two series, Taylor Heinicke follows for one to two, and D.J. Uiagalelei takes the bulk of snaps.
• Lance leads Chargers preseason production at 27-of-49 for 296 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, plus 88 rushing yards and a score.
• The backup job behind Justin Herbert remains unsettled, and the decision could determine whether the Chargers carry two or three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.
• Across the field, John Lynch publicly backed Lance this week as Kyle Shanahan navigates receiver issues, including Demarcus Robinson’s expected three-game suspension and uncertainty around Brandon Aiyuk’s Week 1 availability.
