The Chargers released Heinicke on Tuesday.
Impact
The 32-year-old becomes a free agent after losing a summer battle against Trey Lance for the backup QB job in Los Angeles. It's not a great sign for Henicke's NFL future, but he may nonetheless resurface somewhere else.

Enters game after Lance
Heinicke completed three of five passes for 31 yards in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Impact
Heinicke was the second Chargers quarterback into the game, notably after Trey Lance. He wasn't asked to do much-- the playcalling heavily slanted toward the run -- though Heinicke did manage to record completions of 12 and 13 yards to Oronde Gadsden and JacQuae Jackson. Saturday's usage suggests Heinicke has slipped to third on the quarterback depth chart, though that won't become entirely clear until the team's Week 1 matchup against the Chiefs.

Off target in brief start
Heinicke completed just one of five pass attempts for eight yards and no rushing attempts in Sunday's 27-13 preseason win over the Saints.
Impact
Starter Justin Herbert sat out for the second exhibition in a row, affording Heinicke the opportunity to make his preseason debut against New Orleans. The journeyman backup probably wishes he hadn't on this particular Sunday after completing just one pass across two offensive drives. Heinicke was the early favorite to serve as Herbert's backup come Week 1, but Trey Lance has produced touchdowns in consecutive exhibitions and could threaten for the gig. It will be interesting to see what order the two backups are rolled out against the Rams in Saturday's preseason action.

Scheduled for preseason start
Heinicke will start Sunday's preseason game against the Saints, NFL.com reports.
Impact
Trey Lance started the Hall of Fame Game and played deep into the second half, with both Heinicke and Justin Herbert being held out. Heinicke will now lead the second-string offense Sunday, followed by Lance and DJ Uiagalelei working with the third/fourth units. Heinicke seems like a favorite to enter Week 1 in the backup QB role, but there's always some chance Lance could be tabbed instead. Heinicke and Lance signed similar one-year contracts this offseason.
