The Los Angeles Chargers are kicking off the 2025 NFL preseason with Trey Lance under center. Lance will start on Thursday when the Chargers take on the Detroit Lions during the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters on Tuesday.

The Hall of Fame Game has been held annually since 1962 and marks the arrival of the NFL preseason. It's a game that doesn't count toward either participants' preseason records, and teams are typically chosen based on the connection they have with the incoming Pro Football Hall of Fame class, which is also enshrined on the week of the action.
