Justin Herbert will not play in the preseason opener. Don't be surprised if Jim Harbaugh holds him out of the entire preseason as he works back from a foot injury. They will not rush him, nor should they.

This first game will open the return of Jim Harbaugh to the NFL. Don't be surprised to see some defenders starters play a drive or two just to get their feet wet.

Past that, I would be surprised if we see Chargers starters after the first quarter. The roster does lack depth, and LA needs to play it smart when it comes to potential injuries in an exhibition games.
