Los Angeles Chargers: Cornerback J.C. Jackson cracked a smile after Day 8 of training camp when he was asked about the experience practicing against Pro Bowl quarterback Justin Herbert. "He hasn't really thrown to my side," Jackson said, a shy grin growing. "I don't know if he's afraid or what, but he's barely thrown to my side." Herbert afraid? That's unlikely, although the third-year quarterback did witness Friday what's likely to happen when Jackson is challenged, as backup Easton Stick attempted a pass that was tipped and landed in Jackson's hands. "That's team defense," Jackson said about the play. The Chargers signed Jackson, the NFL's interceptions leader since 2018 (25), to a five-year, $82.5 million contract in free agency. "He's been solid," defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill said. "He's been like we anticipated from his playing days in New England. Come out here and be a lockdown performer." -- Lindsey Thiry
