The Chargers are leaning into a youth-driven training camp, with Branson Taylor emerging at left guard and a wave of rookies (Mesidor, Slaughter, Brenen Thompson) shaping the lineup under Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel’s new system. They’re also counting on a young receiver corps and a tense edge-rusher battle, eschewing veteran signings while Herbert adapts to McDaniel’s approach and Kennard fights for a roster spot amid competition from Dupree and Tucker.
