The comment appears in NBC Sports’ recap of his post‑game interview and is echoed in a Chargers‑focused “5 Takeaways” piece that mentions Ladd McConkey’s injury update. Yet Yahoo Sports ran a story branding Harbaugh a “fraud,” suggesting the criticism may outweigh his admission.
The Arizona Cardinals’ analysis noted that building on success requires avoiding hype, a theme that may influence the Chargers’ approach as they adjust personnel usage. With Harbaugh’s preseason strategy under scrutiny, upcoming injury reports and Week 2 performance will indicate whether additional reps can mitigate the early setbacks.
