The Los Angeles Chargers are getting in game mode as the team will have their first preseason meeting at the Hall of Fame Game against the Detroit Lions.

“He runs really crisp routes, and he’s picked up the offense well, too. You know when you‘re out there, he’s going to run the right route and you don’t have to worry about that," Herbert said when talking about what he has seen from Harris early on.
Having Herbert and Harris build a bond during camp is vital to the success this team may see late in the season. The 2025 second-round pick is going to be asked to make an immediate impact with this team. It appears that he may be up for that challenge.
