The Chargers have released their unofficial depth chart ahead of Week 1.
The Bolts open the 2022 season at home against the Raiders. Kickoff is Sunday at 1:25 p.m. (PT) from SoFi Stadium.
For reference, the Chargers offense is listed in "21 personnel" with two backs (a running back and fullback) and a tight end. That leaves two spots at receiver, along with a quarterback and the offensive line.
The Bolts defense, meanwhile, features starters in a base 3-4 scheme, which includes three down linemen, two outside linebackers, two inside linebackers, two cornerbacks and two safeties.
Here's a look at the Chargers unofficial depth chart with starters followed by backups listed in order as they appear.
