Overview

  • Daboll named first-rounder Jaxson Dart the starter for the rest of the season, setting his debut Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the 3-0 Chargers.
  • Los Angeles lists three starting offensive linemen on the injury report after Wednesday’s practice—center Bradley Bozeman (back), right guard Mekhi Becton (concussion), and right tackle Trey Pipkins III (knee).
  • With Najee Harris out for the season due to an Achilles tear, the Chargers’ backfield leans on rookie Omarion Hampton, with Hassan Haskins the other active option.
  • The Giants’ rushing load shifts to Cam Skattebo with Tyrone Tracy Jr. sidelined for weeks, facing a Chargers defense that ranks among the stingiest against the run.
  • Justin Herbert leads an offense averaging 362.3 yards and 270 passing yards per game, paired with a defense allowing 16.7 points, while a receiver trio of Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston, and Ladd McConkey has fueled the 3-0 start.
