The Los Angeles Chargers (1-0) host the San Francisco 49ers (0-1) in a West Coast matchup to conclude Thursday’s two-game NFL preseason slate.
Both teams are expected to give some of their starters playing time to begin the game, including quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Justin Herbert, although, as you’d expect in the preseason, those players won’t remain on the field for too long.
A few storylines to follow in this matchup involve the offensive line, as both teams are doing some shuffling due to injuries or holes atop the depth chart. Meanwhile, 49ers second-round rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling continues to generate plenty of hype after a standout offseason to this point. He also had a stellar preseason debut in Week 1, catching seven passes for 63 yards, including a 32-yard reception against Tennessee.
