Jim Harbaugh expects impact from Khalil Mack in 2026 season

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh identified veteran edge rusher Khalil Mack as a primary player to watch entering the 2026 season. Harbaugh noted on The Rich Eisen Show that the 35-year-old is recording personal records in performance metrics including speed, power, and agility. Mack, who is entering his 13th season in the league and his fifth with the Chargers, looks to bounce back from a 2025 campaign limited by a left elbow dislocation. During that season, he was restricted to 12 games and logged 32 tackles and 5.5 sacks. With his health restored, the coaching staff anticipates a return to his previous All-Pro level of play. Mack enters the new season still seeking his first career playoff victory.
