Chargers vs. Denver Broncos: Who Has the Edge?
The Broncos will start Nate Adkins in his season debut and rely on Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton to strengthen linebacker coverage after key injuries.
- The Denver Broncos will face the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, September 21, 2025, in an AFC West divisional matchup.
- The Broncos enter the game 0-2 and will be without key starters Evan Engram and Dre Greenlaw due to a back injury and lingering quad issues, respectively.
- Linebacker Justin Strnad, recovering from a foot injury, will start in Greenlaw's place for the third straight week, while Nate Adkins will debut but is unlikely to replace Engram's receiving role.
