Overview

• In Canton, Lance completed 13 of 20 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers’ 34-7 Hall of Fame Game win on August 1.
• Harbaugh officially slotted Lance as his second quarterback and vowed “more reps next week” in upcoming preseason matchups.
• The Chargers are leveraging Harbaugh’s quarterback-development blueprint—proven with Colin Kaepernick and Alex Smith—to correct Lance’s broken career rhythm.
• Justin Herbert remains entrenched as the Chargers’ No. 1 quarterback despite Lance’s preseason surge.
• Lance signed a one-year deal worth up to $6.2 million in April, giving Los Angeles a low-risk opportunity to tap his upside.
