SF 49ers vs. San Diego Chargers Week 4 Preseason Live Stream Free: Tonight's Game Televised Nationally, TV Schedule

Aug 29, 2013 02:21 AM EDT

2013 NFL preseason games will conclude with Thursday’s games in week 4. San Francisco 49ers will be playing against the San Diego Chargers at 7:30 PM ET at Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, Calif. The game will be televised live on NFL Network nationwide. The game can be watched online through live stream here.

San Francisco 49ers Trading Parys Haralson

San Francisco 49ers traded Parys Haralson, 29, one the longest-tenured and most respected players on the team, to the Saints, the league source said.

The 2006 fifth-round draft pick became expendable with the rise of Corey Lemonier, a third-round pick outside linebacker, who showed higher performing stats. Lemonier has four quarterback hurries on 16 pass rushes, the Pro Football Focus reported. In 35 rushes, he has eight hurries and a sack up after week 3 preseason game.

Haralson, who started 56 of 57 games from 2008 through 2011, was preparing to assume a backup role behind outside linebackers Aldon Smith last year but sustained a season-ending torn triceps in a preseason game.

According to SFGate.com, he was scheduled to earn a base salary of $2.57 million in 2013, but the pay was cut to $1.15 million for him to remain with the team. Haralson achieved eight sacks in 2008, but only 11 sacks through 2009 through 2011.

Although 49ers teammates will miss him, his stats and injuries prevented the organization to continue using him.

“He’s a great teammate, as we all know,” defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said this month, the SFGates.com reported. “Coaches like him. There isn’t anybody in the building that doesn’t like him because that’s just who he is as a person.”

The Saints were looking a linebacker with Victor Butler and Will Smith out for the season with knee injuries. Smith sustained a torn ACL in Sunday’s preseason game against the Texans.

Meanwhile, coming into the final preseason game, QB Colin Kaepernick had just two series in the game and was 7 of 13 for 72 yards with 1 TD, which went to rookie wideout Quinton Patton. Colt McCoy had a very nice showing, in which he went 11 for 15 for 109 yards. The 49ers defense have been playing well thus far.

San Diego Chargers Defense Improves

Coming off from a 24-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals, the Chargers defense has looked good in the preseason so far, an important improvement that will affect how quarter Philip Rivers can deliver passes for completions and touchdowns.

Rivers, a four-time Pro Bowler who led the NFL in passing yards in 2010 with 4,710, was sacked three times by the Bears in the second preseason game. Compared to AFC-worst of 49 times in 2012 and 79 times over the last two seasons, the Bolts have improved in its defense, allowing just 273 yards in game against Cardinals.

With Mike McCoy as the new coach and Ken Whisenhunt as the offensive coordinator, Chargers have installed a new offensive system. River has completed 20 of 33 passes for 166 yards and no touchdowns, according to ESPN.
