The Los Angeles Chargers open the 2023 NFL regular season against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 10 at SoFi Stadium.
The Chargers' roster from their 2022 playoff season returns mostly intact, led by fourth-year quarterback Justin Herbert, who in July signed a five-year, $262.5 million extension that keeps him with the team through the 2029 season.

The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Here is a projection for the Chargers:
