Chargers Training Camp is headed back to The Bolt.
The Chargers held their second and final practice at the University of San Diego on Wednesday, going for 75 minutes in a non-padded session.
The Bolts will practice Thursday at 1 p.m. back in El Segundo.
Here is the Chargers Camp Report from Wednesday’s practice:
1. Harris, Lambert-Smith come up clutch
Watch out for those Chargers rookie wide receivers.
On a day when a handful of young players turned heads for the Bolts, two of the best plays belonged to Tre’ Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith.
Harris’ moment came on a fourth-and-4 situation with the ball at the 41-yard line. The 2025 second-round pick ran a smooth route before Justin Herbert found him near the left sideline for a 15-yard gain to move the sticks.
Lambert-Smith, a recent fifth-round pick, also got the crowd going in San Diego.
“He had two great practices [in San Diego],” Chargers Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman said of Lambert-Smith. “I have to go back and watch this tape but he made a couple of adjustments today on the ball that you can’t coach.”
Roman later added: “He’s doing a really good job.”
He first impressed in a 7-on-7 drill when he high-pointed a deep pass from Trey Lance for a big gain with Deane Leonard in coverage.
Lambert-Smith also had his own clutch catch on fourth down when he hauled in a 30-plus yard gain against Cam Hart on a pass from Lance. The tumbling reception came on fourth-and-4 at the 40-yard line.
It’s worth noting that Daiyan Henley likely would have had a sack on the play, but credit to the rookie for making an acrobatic catch, too. (Henley, by the way, said “of course” it was a sack on the play).
Even so, fellow receiver Ladd McConkey said both Harris and Lambert-Smith have impressed him thus far in camp.
“They’re getting better and better every day,” McConkey said. “You come in during OTAs and you’re running around with your head cut off and have no idea what’s going on … but now you can see them starting to play more fast and more free.
“Then the athletic ability and the playmaking ability comes out,” McConkey added.
