With the unveiling of their 2026 opponents, the Los Angeles Chargers will face one of the NFL's 10 toughest schedules next season.

There’s something in his competitive fire,” coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier this season, “it motivates him even more.”

After the Los Angeles Chargers closed out the year with back-to-back losses, it sounds like many aren't giving them a chance in their AFC Wild Card matchup against the New England Patriots.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Chargers announced the signing if wide receiver Luke Grimm to the practice squad. Grimm re-joins the Chargers as a former member of the team’s initial 2025 free agent haul this past offseason. In a corresponding move, the Chargers released tight end Tanner McLachlan.

Will Hill delivers his two upset picks of the week — one for the College Football Playoff and one for the NFL wild-card round.

Despite this, mock drafts have already begun to fly. Bleacher Report's recent one has the Bolts selecting another protector for Herbert. At No. 22 overall, Bleacher Report had the Chargers select Alabama's Kadyn Proctor. Proctor played left tackle for the Crimson Tide, but projects better as a guard according to scouting reports.

It finally happened. After 18 incredible years with the Baltimore Ravens -- with a Super Bowl ring and a 180-113 record -- John Harbaugh was fired on Tuesday, the day after a Black Monday full of coaching moves.
