The Los Angeles Chargers face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, Aug. 31 in the 2017 NFL preseason. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The Los Angeles Chargers have hopes of being a breakout team in the 2017 season, if they can stay healthy of course. Healthy or not, the San Francisco 49ers likely aren’t going to do very much this season. They are a rebuilding team, but that makes their fourth preseason matchup with LA all the more important.
One of the keys for the 49ers rebuild is working the lower part of the roster for potential future pieces. It seems clear that new general manager John Lynch is going to help with that, and has done a good job finding guys like Matt Breida and Lorenzo Jerome.
Meanwhile, the Chargers have been one of the most injury ravaged teams for the past few seasons. Subsequently, they’ll look for guys against the 49ers that could potentially fill in if that happens once again.
