Chargers vs Seahawks team news
Los Angeles Chargers
Justin Herbert recently suffered a plantar fascia injury in his right foot, which may lead the Chargers to hold him out for the entire preseason. As a result, all eyes will be on the competition to determine who will step up as the backup quarterback.
The candidates for this role include Easton Stick, Max Duggan, Casey Bouman, and UFL signing Max Perez. One of these players will need to establish themselves as the primary backup in case Herbert is unable to return. Joey Bosa and Ladd McConkey are also questionable.
With Austin Ekeler now gone, the running game will rely on established back J.K. Dobbins, along with Kimani Vidal and Isaiah Spiller. In the receiving corps, wide receivers Quentin Johnston, Derius Davis, and Brendon Rice are set to be the primary targets in this preseason opener. Tight ends Hayden Hurst and Donald Parham Jr. may also share some playing time.
Seattle Seahawks
Abraham Lucas, Jerrick Reed II, Drake Thomas and Cameron Young have all been ruled out for this game.
2024 will usher in a new era of Seattle football. Pete Carroll is no longer the head coach following last year's 9-8 record. Former defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald plans to return this squad to the playoffs in year one.
Geno Smith is set to be the starting quarterback once again this year, but he did have some issues last season. The Seahawks have lots of weapons, including Kenneth Walker, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxson Smith-Njigba, so Smith or Howell will have plenty of options to work with.
That said, Smith just returned from an injury, so we may not see him at all in this game, but we should see a lot of Sam Howell and PJ Walker.
