Week 1 of the 2019 NFL preseason schedule gets underway Thursday, and one of the night's highlights will be Chargers vs. Cardinals with the debut of No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray.

Los Angeles is coming off a 13-3 season, but fell short to the Patriots in the AFC divisional round. The Chargers are led by Anthony Lynn, who is going into his third season with LA and faces the task of corralling running back Melvin Gordon, who has requested a trade amid a contract holdout.

Meanwhile, Arizona's 2018 campaign was the exact opposite. The Cardinals went 3-13, leading them to fire coach Steve Wilks after only one year. The team made big moves hiring Kliff Kingsbury, who was previously the offensive coordinator at the University of Southern California and coach at Texas Tech.

The Cards also snagged Murray, the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner. The dual-sport star from Oklahoma became the first athlete taken in the first round in both the MLB and NFL drafts, and everyone's eager to see what he'll be able to do on the big stage.
