Watch Chargers vs Cowboys in NFL preseason 2024 today, as Trey Lance sets out to secure his place in Mike McCarthy’s 53-man Dallas roster for the campaign ahead. Below we have all the info on how to watch Chargers vs Cowboys from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.
We should all thank our lucky stars that the game is going ahead at all, as the past few days have served up more thrills than either team would have bargained for. A fire broke out at the Cowboys’ hotel on Monday, and on Friday several Chargers players got trapped in an elevator and had to be extricated one-by-one through the ceiling by Dallas Fire-Rescue.
On the topic of football, Lance has impressed in preseason, throwing for 151 yards and a touchdown and gaining a further 34 yards and a score on the ground in the Cowboys’ 27-11 victory over the Raiders last week, and the word on the street is that the former No.3 pick has already wrestled the QB2 role behind Dak Prescott off of Cooper Rush. Another strong showing in Dallas will go some way to addressing any lingering doubts.
Justin Herbert returned to the practice field for the first time this week, following his plantar fascia injury diagnosis at the end of July. The hope for new coach Jim Harbaugh, who it’s fair to say was over the moon to have the Chargers’ main man back, is that he’ll be match-fit for Week 1, but for that to be the case he may need to take a risk by giving him some reps at AT&T Stadium today.
Here’s where to watch Chargers vs Cowboys and all 2024 NFL live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
