Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Chargers: How to watch, TV Channel, streaming, start time, injury report and stats

As the opening weekend of the 2024 NFL season approaches, fans are treated to an AFC West matchup as the Los Angeles Chargers host the Las Vegas Raiders.

Eyes will be on the Chargers after they recruited head coach Jim Harbaugh, who won the college national championship with Michigan last season.

There are question marks around their No. 1 receiver, and the No. 34 pick from Georgia, rookie WR Ladd McConkey seems most likely to step up. Despite their receiver options, the Chargers are tipped to be one of the more fascinating prospects this season.

The Raiders on the other hand, have recruited Christian Wilkins to partner Maxx Crosby to create a dynamic pass-rush unit. Wilkins arrived from Miami off the back of his best season with nine sacks and 65 total tackles, becoming arguably one of the best signings of the offseason making him a great addition to their already impressive defense.
