COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn will get his first opportunity to evaluate this year's team when the Chargers hit the road to face the Arizona Cardinals in the team's preseason opener on Saturday.
Lynn would not say how much the starters will play, but did provide a hint, pointing to how smoothly things went a year ago when the Chargers hosted the Seattle Seahawks in the team's exhibition opener.
In that game, Philip Rivers and the starting offense played a series, while the starting defense played about a quarter.
