Chargers plan to play starters for limited time against Rams
Summary

Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the Chargers, announced that most starters will participate in the preseason finale against the Rams, expected to play around six to nine plays. Derwin James Jr. and Khalil Mack will be rested due to caution. The Chargers look to improve after a poor offensive performance in their previous preseason game against the 49ers, where starters completed only one series for eight yards. Expectations remain high for Harbaugh entering his third season, aiming for success after back-to-back winning seasons without a playoff victory.
