Analysis: Trey Lance Hopes Chargers Are Stepping Stone to Long NFL Career
STARK COUNTY, OHIO, AUG 2 – Trey Lance completed 65% of his passes with two touchdowns and no turnovers, aiming to secure the backup quarterback role for the Los Angeles Chargers this preseason.
- On Thursday night in Canton, Ohio, the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Detroit Lions 34-7 in the 2025 NFL preseason Hall of Fame Game.
- Last year, he signed a one-year deal with the Chargers on October 29, 2024, after his career stalled due to injuries as a 2021 third overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers.

- Harbaugh called it a 'Big night for Trey,' as Lance’s performance serves as an audition for Justin Herbert’s backup role.
- With final roster decisions looming, his seven special teams snaps, two pressures, and two tackles in four preseason games give fans something to monitor.
