Los Angeles Times
|August 16, 2025
Quarterback and team approach Rams game head-on to prepare for regular-season start.
QUARTERBACK Justin Herbert wants the "true feeling" of a live pass rush in his preseason debut Saturday.
When the Chargers and Rams canceled their joint practice this week, it seemed the Chargers' starters would miss a chance at live, competitive reps against an opposing team.
Expectations were that the Chargers would not play their starters against the Rams at SoFi Stadium on Saturday — a move aligned with coach Jim Harbaugh's “abundance of caution” approach.

Herbert wants to face a pass rush
Justin Herbert will make his preseason debut, leading the offensive starters for “a series or two,” according to Harbaugh.
