Much of the roster appears set for the Sept. 10 regular-season opener, but several roles could be solidified after Friday’s exhibition in Santa Clara
The Chargers play their final exhibition game Friday against the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara. Much of their roster appears to be set for the Sept. 10 regular-season opener after 18 practices over four weeks of training camp, but there are several roles that could be solidified Friday.
So, there’s much at stake for a number of Chargers in Friday’s game against the 49ers. There also are issues of trust that must be resolved, if they haven’t been already. The coaching staff must determine if they can rely on a player if their role must suddenly be enhanced later in the season.Someone has to drop the clipboard, swap the headset for a helmet and replace quarterback Justin Herbert if something happens to the NFL’s second-leading passer last season.
Playing a more consistent game against San Francisco certainly would ease the minds of the Chargers’ coaching staff.Cameron Dicker took over for Dustin Hopkins after Hopkins was injured in Week 6 last season. Hopkins was sidelined by an undisclosed injury for most of training camp and for the Chargers’ 34-17 exhibition victory over the Rams before splitting the kicking duties with Dicker in a 22-17 loss to the Saints.
