The Chargers are coming off two days of fully-padded joint practices the Saints and they’re now ready to kick things up a notch with a real exhibition game on deck inside SoFi Stadium.
New Saints quarterback Derek Carr is a familiar site for this Chargers team as many players remaining on the roster are used to seeing him twice a year. Now in the NFC, this will be the last time the Bolts will face Carr until the 2024 season where New Orleans is expected to come back to town.
The Saints are coming off their own victory over the Chiefs in their own preseason opener where rookie kicker Blake Grupe hit home a 31-yard game-winning field goal.
