With preseason week 3 upon us, NFL fans are now two weeks away from the start of the NFL regular season. Before that, though, each team has one more preseason game to shake out their rosters in preparation. One more game means one more chance for some players to fight for their deserving spots on the depth chart. The Los Angeles Chargers and Seattle Seahawks both have intriguing players to watch. The Chargers, now 1-1 after an embarrassing loss to the San Francisco 49ers, are now looking to bounce back. Meanwhile, the Seahawks, after consecutive thrashings by the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos, will be looking to end the preseason on a good note.This is the Chargers-Seahawks preseason week 3 preview.
The Chargers have a wide array of draft picks and undrafted rookies to keep an eye on, while the Seahawks are mostly relying on their older talent. However, the Seahawks have a couple of intriguing rookies worth mentioning. Here are the rookies to watch on each team.
Nick Niemann has been the surprise of the preseason for the Chargers, making 12 tackles in 2 games. (via Chargers)
will get to see Samuel go against elite talent.
D’Wayne Eskridge will need to shine in the Seahawks’ game against the Chargers in order to earn his spot as WR3. (via Seahawks)
Both teams are in very different positions going into this game. The Chargers will likely be primarily hoping to settle some position competitions, such as at linebacker and at wide reciever. The Seahawks, on the other hand, will likely be hoping to get their first preseason win. Preseason wins and losses mean nothing for the regular season, but losing every preseason game can be devastating for team morale. Winning at least one could help right the ship for the Seahawks going into the regular season. The Chargers may try to win too, but they likely won’t have the same sense of urgency. For them, it’s more about trying to stop making foolish mistakes like last week. This was the Chargers-Seahawks preseason week 3 preview.
