The Chargers will kickoff the 2025 NFL preseason with their bout against the Detroit Lions in this week’s Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. PT.
With two days until game day, Jim Harbaugh has officially made the call for quarterback Trey Lance to be the starter in their preseason opener. This does not mean that he’s necessarily leapfrogged Taylor Heinicke, however. As a highly-drafted player that has struggled mightily with injuries since being drafted third overall, Lance needs as many snaps as he can get and it looks like Harbaugh is very much on board with giving him the lion’s share of the snaps over the next four weeks.
