The Los Angeles Chargers kicked off the 2024 NFL season with a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, maintaining an optimistic outlook as they prepare for their Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Despite the win, the team faces challenges, including a growing injury report with key players like safety Alohi Gilman and cornerback Ja'Sir Taylor sidelined. To bolster their defense, the Chargers signed cornerback Dicaprio Bootle to their practice squad, who previously played for the Panthers and has a history with the Kansas City Chiefs. Additionally, they added cornerback Nehemiah Shelton to the practice squad while releasing Matt Hankins, as they look to fill gaps in the secondary. With the Chargers set to stay on the East Coast between games, Coach Jim Harbaugh's decision aims to enhance their preparation. Fans are eager to see how these changes will influence the team's performance in the upcoming weeks.
