Chargers' Easton Stick: Emergency QB versus Arizona
Stick (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.
Stick will operate as the team's emergency quarterback in Week 7 versus Arizona. The 29-year-old will only enter the game if Justin Herbert and Taylor Heinicke are forced to exit.

Chargers' Easton Stick: One of three QBs active
Stick is active along with Taylor Heinicke as options at quarterback behind starter Justin Herbert (ankle) in Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Herbert didn't take any first-team reps during Week 3 prep while nursing a high-ankle sprain, managing just one limited practice Wednesday through Friday. Despite the lack of practice activity, Herbert convinced the coaching and training staffs that he is able to start after completing a pregame warmup. Herbert should take every snap Sunday so long as the game is competitive and he doesn't suffer a setback with the ankle, but Stick might be first in line to get reps if Herbert should exit the contest. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Stick would have been first in line to start Week 3 if Herbert couldn't, though the coach backed off that stance a bit by Friday, telling Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site that he has "a lot of faith" in both Stick and Heinicke being capable of stepping in for Herbert, if necessary.

Chargers' Easton Stick: Goes distance in preseason finale
Stick completed 12 of 29 passes for 187 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Saturday's 26-19 preseason win over the Cowboys. He added 17 rushing yards on four carries.
It was a poor performance through the air for Stick, but he didn't need to do much due to Trey Lance throwing five INTs for Dallas, and Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko scoring a couple long TDs in the first half. Stick appears to be locked into the No. 2 quarterback role, but Justin Herbert (foot) is on track to be ready for Week 1 and the Chargers will be hoping his backup isn't needed for extensive action again as he was late in 2023.

Chargers' Easton Stick: Struggles yet again
Stick completed eight of his 13 attempts for 85 yards and an interception in Saturday's 13-9 preseason loss to the Rams. He also carried the ball five times for 22 yards, but he did record a fumble.
That's now two bad showings for Stick, who seemed to have the backup quarterback job behind Justin Herbert (foot) locked up at the start of the preseason. It's unclear if the fifth-year veteran is really at risk of losing the positional battle despite the poor outings as projected third-string quarterback, Max Duggan, was a healthy inactive Saturday while training camp addition Luis Perez also struggled to some extent (13 of 20 for 78 yards and a fumble). Stick figures to have one more chance to solidify his standing on the active roster in the team's final preseason game against the Cowboys.

Chargers' Easton Stick: In line to start Saturday
Stick is slated to start Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Stick also got the start in the Chargers' preseason opener against the Seahawks and will get the nod again this weekend after turning in a good week of practice, according to coach Jim Harbaugh. Of late, Stick has been filling in for franchise QB Justin Herbert, who's working his way back from a plantar fascia injury in his right foot.

Chargers' Easton Stick: Struggles mightily Saturday
Stick completed five of his 13 pass attempts for 31 yards and an interception in Saturday's 16-3 preseason loss to the Seahawks. He also carried the ball once for 12 yards.
The Jim Harbaugh Era got off to a dreadful start in the exhibition game, as the Chargers had just one drive that went longer than five plays in the first half. Stick, who started Saturday's game due to Justin Herbert (foot) being sidelined, struggled mightily, often failing to hit wide receivers in stride or getting pressured off his plant spot immediately. A fifth-round draft pick back in 2019, Stick is expected to act as the team's backup QB provided he's able to hold off second-year quarterback Max Duggan in a training camp battle for the position.
