The Los Angeles Chargers are bringing Shane Day back as their quarterbacks coach, reuniting him with Justin Herbert on Jim Harbaugh's coaching staff. Day, who was the pass game coordinator and QBs coach for Herbert during the 2021-22 seasons, returns to the Chargers after a season with the Houston Texans. This move was first reported by Mike Garafolo. Herbert, who is a big fan of Day, will be working under him once again. Additionally, head coach Jim Harbaugh has emphasized the importance of the run game and has expressed his desire to retain Austin Ekeler for the 2024 season, praising him as a 'tremendous back'.
