The Chargers will open the 2021 season at Washington, the NFL announced Wednesday morning. Also matching up against Young will be Chargers rookie left tackle Rashawn Slater. Washington is coming off a 7-9 season but made the playoffs by winning the NFC East under new coach Ron Rivera. Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, signed as a free agent in March, is expected to enter training camp as Washington’s starting quarterback. The 2021 opener will mark the head coaching debut of Brandon Staley, who was hired by the Chargers in January to replace Anthony Lynn.
