The worst part of the preseason hit the Los Angeles Chargers especially hard. The Chargers canceled their joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams, scheduled for Wednesday, as injuries mount for Jim Harbaugh’s squad, Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Sunday.
“Unfortunately, we’ll have to cancel that practice with the Chargers,” McVay said after the Rams’ 31-21 preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. “I think they’re a little bit banged up, talking to coach Harbaugh. Bummer that we weren’t able to get that done, but I totally understand, and we’ll figure out a way to get great work against ourselves.”
The Chargers most notably lost Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater for the season after he tore his patellar tendon during practice. The injury came a few weeks after the Chargers had made Slater the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL with a four-year, $114 million extension.
That’s far from the only notable injury. Running back Najee Harris suffered an eye injury in a Fourth of July fireworks accident, and his status for Week 1 remains questionable. Thursday, the same day Slater suffered his injury, Donte Jackson came up limping after slipping in team drills, according to The Athletic’s Daniel Popper.
ESPN’s Kris Rhim noted a long list of non-participants for Friday’s practice:
The Chargers face the Saints Sunday to conclude Week 1 of the NFL preseason. It should be noted, however, that the Chargers played in the Hall of Fame Game, so it is actually their second preseason game.

Bengals Reportedly Listening to Trade Offers on Star DE Trey Hendrickson
As Trey Hendrickson continues his hold-in during training camp this week, the Cincinnati Bengals are listening to trade offers for the star edge rusher, NFL Media reported on Sunday. No deal is imminent, and it's unclear if Hendrickson will wind up playing elsewhere in 2025, NFL Media added in its report.Hendrickson and the Bengals were in a contract dispute for virtually the entire offseason, with Cincinnati allowing him to talk to other teams about a potential deal at one point. However, no deal came to fruition, and the Bengals and Hendrickson have failed to reach an agreement on a new deal as he enters the final year of his contract.With no contract extension coming to fruition this offseason, Hendrickson wasn't shy to share how upset he was with the team. He skipped essentially the Bengals' entire offseason program, including mandatory […]
Arsenal hold on to beat Manchester United through Calafiori goal: Live updates and reaction
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes discussed his side’s performance on Sky Sports after the match.Let’s hear his thoughts...💬 “We did a lot of good things but it wasn’t enough. (After scoring) Arsenal didn’t create any good chances, we were defending very well. We created many good chances without scoring so that’s a point we have to look at and make it better next time.“In the first half the game was very divided, in the second Arsenal were defending the result. We controlled the game well, were very good on the ball. The main negative of the game is that we didn’t score.“Corners are part of the game, we know they are very good from set pieces. I haven’t seen the goal again... but Altay (Bayindir) was saying at the moment he went to punch the ball, he got a touch […]
Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Sunday’s games
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes PFF's fantasy football recap focuses on player usage and stats, breaking down all the vital information you need to achieve fantasy success in 2025. Jacksonville Jaguars @ New Orleans Saints Tank Bigsby starts for the Jaguars: Travis Etienne Jr. started in the first preseason game. The Jaguars used a relatively basic running back rotation in their first game. Etienne took the first drive, Bigsby played the second and third, Bhayshul Tuten took the fourth drive to the eighth drive, and LeQuint Allen played the ninth and 10th drive, and just four plays were exceptions when drives ran long and the Jaguars wanted to give the current running back a break. These kinds of rotations are common in the preseason and give us a look at the current order of the depth chart, but they do […]
France wins Germany Sail Grand Pix just days after driver is released from hospital
From the hospital and a crash that threatened their participation to spraying champagne on the podium. Somehow, Quentin Delapierre steered the French team to the unlikeliest of victories at the Germany Sail Grand Prix in Sassnitz on Sunday.On Friday, during a wild and windy practice session, Delapierre suffered a face-plant into the cockpit of the French F50 catamaran after their carbon-fiber rudder exploded off the back of the boat and high into the air. After being released from hospital with a clean bill of health, Delapierre set sail on a tricky course that threw all kinds of curve balls at the fleet over the weekend.AdvertisementWhere Saturday had been a test of nerve in strong, gusty winds that saw the F50s break new records for high-speed sailing, Sunday was a much more subtle game in lighter, patchy breeze. Even on their […]
Alabama’s Jam Miller expected to miss season opener vs. FSU with upper-body injury
Alabama starting tailback Jam Miller is out indefinitely after suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday’s scrimmage.Miller’s exact injury was not specified by Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, who said in a statement Sunday that Miller had a “procedure” the night before.“Jam should recover fully with a timetable for his return yet to be determined,” DeBoer said.AdvertisementMiller, a senior, was preseason third-team All-SEC after being Alabama’s second-leading rusher last season with 668 yards and seven touchdowns. Then-quarterback Jalen Milroe was Alabama’s leading rusher.At minimum, Miller appears out for No. 8 Alabama’s season opener at unranked Florida State. But he could be facing an extended absence, putting his availability in peril for the Sept. 13 home game against unranked Wisconsin and the Sept. 27 trip to No. 5 Georgia. Miller could be a big loss for the Crimson Tide for however long he’s […]
