The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to reset after a challenging start to the season, currently sitting at 2-2 following a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Jim Harbaugh views the Week 5 bye as an opportunity to regroup, especially with key injuries affecting the team's performance.
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman aims to establish a balanced offense, but injuries have hampered their progress. The Chargers are struggling with scoring, averaging only 17 points per game and ranking low in passing yards.
Young receivers like Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey are stepping up, but veteran DJ Chark Jr. is still recovering from injury. Meanwhile, the defense, under new coordinator Jesse Minter, has shown promise, leading the league in points allowed, despite facing injuries of their own.
