Week 4 of any NFL preseason looks nothing like a regular-season game, and that will surely be the case for the San Francisco 49ers when they host the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Aug. 30 at Levi’s Stadium.
The Niners are coming off a 23-17 exhibition loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, and that third week of games is generally viewed as the final tuneup in advance of the regular season, which kicks off Thursday, Sept. 6 between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles.
Most teams, including the 49ers, will rest their starters and primary backups for this contest.
