Eric Rogers intercepted Tyler Shough on a third-and-six out route intended for Dante Pettis in the third quarter and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown, then came back for a second interception off Jake Haener in the fourth before leaving SoFi Stadium on crutches. The undrafted Rutgers cornerback’s two-pick performance headlined the Los Angeles Chargers’ 27-13 preseason victory over the New Orleans Saints on August 10, 2025, a game in which Los Angeles outrushed New Orleans 148 yards to 61, forced three turnovers, and held the Saints scoreless across two red zone possessions.

Rogers received a game ball from head coach Jim Harbaugh in the Chargers’ locker room that night, still on crutches. He earned a spot on the 53-man roster before a subsequent ankle injury ended his preseason run, with Los Angeles placing him on injured reserve on August 27. The Chargers, now 2-0 in the preseason, went on to face the LA Rams on August 16. New Orleans, 0-1 in Kellen Moore’s first season as head coach, returned home to host Jacksonville the following day.
