Who Should I Start? Justin Herbert or Caleb Williams

Thursday, August 21, 6:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that quarterback Justin Herbert and the rest of the starters will not play in the preseason finale on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers. Backup QB Trey Lance will get the start under center and will play one to two series. Taylor Heinicke will come in after Lance, followed by DJ Uiagalelei, who will play the rest of the game. Lance and Heinicke are competing for the No. 2 job this summer, although it's unclear if Lance has the leg up based on the fact that he's making the start in the preseason finale. Neither Lance nor Heinicke figure to be on the field much behind Herbert, who has been one of the toughest QBs in the league since entering the NFL in 2020. Herbert missed four games due to injury in 2023 but has started all 79 of the games he's appeared in over the last five seasons.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams said he is regaining his enthusiasm during his second year, according to a piece written by Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The Bears plucked head coach Ben Johnson away from the rival Detroit Lions during the offseason, then committed to their offense by spending three picks in the first two rounds on tight end Colston Loveland, left tackle Ozzy Trapilo, and receiver Luther Burden III. Williams spoke glowingly of Johnson, who will be tasked with helping the former No. 1 overall pick turn around the franchise, which has posted just one winning record since 2013.
