Jim Harbaugh reveals plan for first preseason game vs. Seahawks

The Chargers will host the Seahawks in the preseason opener this Saturday, Aug. 10, at 4:05 p.m. PT.

Like most preseason games, the starters aren’t expected to see the field much, if at all.

On Thursday following practice, Jim Harbaugh said he knows which starters will and won’t play.

“Yeah, I have an idea of what starters will play, what starters won’t play, how much some of the starters will play,’ Harbaugh said. “We have a good plan, we have a good idea of that as of right now. We’re ready to roll.”

Harbaugh added that Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins are among the players who won’t play in the preseason opener.

“There’s a couple on each side of the ball. There’s a few others that won’t be playing,” Harbaugh added.

Harbaugh also confirmed that Easton Stick will start at quarterback and play most of the first half. Stick has been with the first-team offense while Justin Herbert has been out with a plantar fascia injury in his right foot.
