In preparation for opening the 2023 preseason opener against the Rams at 6 p.m. PT on Saturday, the Chargers released the first unofficial depth chart.
Here is a look at the team’s unofficial depth chart going into the first preseason game, which was posted by the team’s Communications department, not the coaching staff. That means it is to be taken with a grain of salt.
The “OR” means that players are fighting for the starting job, so Asante Samuel Jr. and Ja’Sir Taylor are in competition for the starting slot cornerback spot. Cameron Dicker and Dustin Hopkins are battling it out for the starting kicker position.
Quentin Johnston is listed as the No. 4 wide receiver behind Joshua Palmer, the third wideout. Both Johnston and Palmer have had great training camps so far, but the experience in the NFL gives Palmer a leg up as of now, at least.
