Chargers defensive line ranked 23rd in PFF preseason rankings

Pro Football Focus ranks the Los Angeles Chargers' defensive line 23rd ahead of the 2026 season. While edge rushers Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu are expected to perform well, concerns linger about the interior line's effectiveness. Teair Tart is noted as the only starter with a PFF grade above 65.0 from last season, highlighting significant weaknesses. Tart’s expanded role in 2026 could impact the team's defensive strategy, while new addition Dalvin Tomlinson aims for a rebound season. Jamaree Caldwell will also seek to improve after a promising rookie year.
