What to Watch For?: Most importantly, both Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen will see snaps against the Los Angeles Chargers. Beyond that, you’ll want to pay attention to their wide receivers and offensive line.
At receiver, it’s murky beyond Larry Fitzgerald. Brice Butler is currently slated as the No.2 guy but Greg Little, J. J. Nelson, and Christian Kirk all have a lot of upside. It’s safe to say that the preseason will definitely play a big role in who gets snaps and targets come Week 1.
