Phillip Rivers didn’t play vs. Saints and the possibility of him playing this week are still up in the air. Offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said this is the only contest that he could potentially play in during the preseason. If he doesn’t, that would give Cardale Jones more reps. He did well vs. Saints, tallying 111 yards passing with one touchdown.

The Chargers continue to deal with a plethora of injuries. Star wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered an ankle injury and safety Derwin James will miss around three months due to a stress fracture in his foot. James underwent successful surgery on Thursday to remove a screw that was bent. It had been inserted in his foot during his freshman year at Florida State.

A big story out of Chargers camp continues to be running back Melvin Gordon. He and the team are still at a stalemate in contract talks. Gordon has been holding out since July as he heads into the final year of his rookie deal. Last season, Gordon ranked fifth in the NFL in total touchdowns with 14, despite missing four games. He finished the season 885 rushing yards, averaged 5.1 yards per carry. 

Paxton Lynch, who took the majority of the snaps vs. Vikings will not play on Saturday due to a neck injury he sustained against the Vikings. Lynch’s absence will create an opportunity for Geno Smith, who sat out last week while recovering from a knee procedure and will look to regain the lead in the battle to be Russell Wilson’s backup. Wilson went 6-for-9 with 81 yards passing against New Orleans. However, after gaining 106 yards on the first two Wilson-led drives on 18 plays, Seattle had just 115 yards on seven drives the rest of the game.

DeShawn Shead was a standout on defense against the Vikings, playing two and a half quarters, totaling 54 snaps, five more than any other defensive player.
