Thompson exits preseason with injury; elite 4.26 40-time.

Chargers rookie receiver Brenen Thompson, a fourth-round pick who ran a 4.26-second 40-yard dash (tied for fastest at the 2026 combine and third-fastest by a wide receiver since 2003), exited the preseason game against San Francisco in the opening quarter with an injury; trainers evaluated him in the medical tent before walking him to the locker room, raising concerns given he is the backup to Quentin Johnston who also suffered a leg injury this week.
