Position battle updates, Trey Lance shines and players to watch

Preseason results don't always tell the story of a football team, but the Los Angeles Chargers have to be thrilled with their 2-0 start this summer.

We're still a long way away from that Week 1 opening kickoff against the Kansas City Chiefs, but at the same time, it feels like it is coming rather quickly.

There's a lot that needs to be done before the night, including some tough roster decisions. Let's break down the recent news regarding the team.

Edge Depth

The Chargers were possibly banking on rookie edge Kyle Kennard to create havoc in backfields this fall; however, the team could see former UDFA Caleb Murphy actually in that position. This position battle will be interesting to watch for the next few weeks.

Solidifying Position

Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers are the latest team to take a chance on former first-round pick Trey Lance. This time, it seems Lance is finding his footing after two impressive preseason performances.

Rookie Charge

The Chargers are counting on a few rookies to make an impact this season, but the biggest may be running back Omarion Hampton. Can the rookie running back become a pillar of the franchise in his first season?

More UDFA Magic

Michael Peterson of Bolts From The Blue highlighted the impressive play of another Chargers UDFA after Eric Rogers' strong performance this past Sunday.

New Beginnings

Jason Reed of Bolt Beat shared that former Chargers star Joey Bosa did something with the Buffalo Bills that Chargers fans hadn't seen in decades: Play a preseason game.
