Hall of Fame Game live updates: Lions vs. Chargers TV channel, stream
Tonight's game in Canton, Ohio is the first of the NFL preseason, which now consists of three weeks of exhibition games that will continue on Thursday, August 7. This year, the Detroit Lions are the designated home team versus the Los Angeles Chargers to kick off the action. The Hall of Fame Game also represents the start of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Enshrinement Week. The game's inception dates back to 1962. It's technically not a preseason game but an exhibition between two teams that typically have a historical connection to the current class of Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees. On Saturday, August 2, former Chargers tight end Antonio Gates, alongside Eric Allen, Jared Allen and Sterling Sharpe, will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. On the field, expect to see backups and rookies during the game. Many of the players are battling for roster spots, so though it's an exhibition, expect both sides to play hard. It's unlikely that starting quarterbacks Justin Herbert or Jared Goff will suit up, among other starters. Trey Lance has been announced as the starter for the Chargers, with Taylor Heinicke and DJ Uiagalelei making up the rest of the QB depth chart for Los Angeles. On the other side, Detroit will likely deploy Hendon Hooker and Kyle Allen under center. Soak it in. This is the first taste of NFL football returning to television since February. USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights and more from the Hall of Fame Game matchup between the Chargers and Lions below. All times are Eastern.

Finishing up last season, the Rams were 10-7 and first in the NFC West. The Rams' draft day headquarters will look different this year. The team has decided to move its draft operations to one of the Los Angeles Fire Department stations in Van Nuys. The team wants to honor first responders who battled the recent wildfires. A few months after the draft, the Chargers will face the Detroit Lions in the annual Hall of Fame Game as part of Enshrinement Week.

According to the Chargers' website, the Bolts have more picks than they did last year. They have 10 picks in the draft, including three compensatory picks they were awarded on March 11. The team has the 22nd overall pick in the first round. Heading into the draft, sports analysts at ESPN say the Chargers are in need of a wide receiver, tight end, defensive tackle, offensive guard and running back. There are several mock drafts that try and predict which players are going to be selected in each round. According to a mock draft by ESPN, they predict the Bolts will select Kenneth Grant from the University of Michigan. Grant is a defensive tackle from Indiana. Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter are familiar with Grant when they were on the coaching staff at Michigan. Round 1: (No. 22 overall) Round 2: (No. 55) Round 3: (No. 86) Round 4: (No. 125 overall) Round 5: (No. 158 overall) Round 6: (No. 181 overall from New England)* Round 6: (No. 199 overall) Round 6: (No. 209 overall - compensatory pick) Round 6: (No. 214 overall - compensatory pick) Round 7: (No. 256 overall - compensatory pick) What picks do the Rams have in the 2025 NFL draft? The Rams have a first-round pick for the second year in a row after going seven seasons without one from 2017 to 2023, according to the team's website. The team will have eight picks in this year's draft. The Rams have the 26th overall pick in the first round. ESPN sports analysts say heading into the draft, the Rams are in need of a cornerback, linebacker, wide receiver, quarterback and running back. A mock draft by ESPN predicts the New York Giants will make a trade to move up and send picks 34 and 99 to the Rams. This trade is not official and is only being predicted by ESPN sports analysts. Round 1: No. 26 overall Round 3: No. 90 overall Round 3: No. 101 overall (special compensatory) Round 4: No. 127 overall Round 6: No. 190 overall (from Atlanta Falcons) Round 6: No. 195 overall (from Pittsburgh Steelers) Round 6: No. 201 overall Round 6: No. 202 overall (from Chicago Bears in Jonah Jackson trade) How to watch the 2025 NFL draft?
