Jim Harbaugh's recent decision to keep most starters off the field during the Hall of Fame game puts significant emphasis on the performance of rookie Zion Johnson. As he steps into the spotlight, it raises questions about his readiness to secure a starting role. The potential risks of this decision could lead to crucial implications for the Chargers' offensive line and the overall success of the team this season.

With star players like Justin Herbert and Derwin James sidelined, the focus shifts solely to Johnson. Observers will be keen to see how well he adapts to the speed and pressure of live game situations; a poor performance could jeopardize his position on the offensive line. The Chargers must assess his development closely as they gear up for a competitive season.
