It's safe to say Trey Lance was fired up to receive the news he would be under center in the Chargers regular season finale.

"'Let's go,'" Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh recalled of Lance's reaction when he heard he would be starting.

He later added: "I put myself in his shoes and I would've had the same reaction he did, 'Let's go. Let me have at it.'"

Harbaugh announced Monday that Justin Herbert will not play in the Chargers regular-season finale in Denver, setting up Lance to get his sixth career start and first with the Bolts.

The 25-year-old quarterback said he first found out he was starting from Chargers quarterbacks coach Shane Day, who let him know through text earlier in the week.

"Super excited," Lance said Wednesday. "Just thankful, very thankful I'm going to get the opportunity to be on the field to start a game this year.

"Just got to go out and make the most of it. Get a win is the goal, keep guys healthy," Lance added. "I'm super excited."

It will be Lance's first start since Week 18 of last season, when he was under center for the Cowboys in their regular-season finale.

He's appeared in 15 games throughout his NFL career, throwing for 1,153 passing yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions to go along with 292 rushing yards and a touchdown.

With his limited playing experience across his five years as a pro, Week 18 could be a big opportunity for him moving forward.

However, he doesn't look too far ahead at this point in his career.

"Going through everything my first five years in the league, I just learned to take it one day at a time, one hour at a time," Lance said. "If I'm in a meeting, that's where I'm at. If I'm at home, that's where I'm at.

"Excited when I found out about it, but I don't think too much about everything else that's gone on," Lance added.

Of course, prepping the week as the starter includes a full week of practice reps.

Lance got a glimpse of it heading into Week 14 as Herbert recovered from surgery on his left hand, allowing Lance to practice with the starters.

But he says this week is no different, even with the guaranteed ramp up to the game.

"I prepare the same way, whether I'm getting reps in practice," Lance said. "Obviously, it's awesome to get reps and know for sure that I'm going to be up starting the game, but I think preparation-wise it doesn't change a whole lot."

Harbaugh backed up the notion as he knows what to expect from the quarterback heading into the week.

"Full week of practice, I know what that's going to look like from a getting prepared standpoint, I know what that's going to look like from a meeting standpoint," Harbaugh said of Lance. "Got a glimpse of it when Justin had the hand a couple of practices there that week and it was good. Really good. Excited for that, I know he will be, too."

Lance has appeared in three games for the Chargers this season, including the previously mentioned game against the Raiders where he stepped in for eight snaps while Herbert was out.

He's appreciated the opportunity he's gotten to be able to learn from Herbert, someone he called one of the best leaders he's been around.

"Justin, another great leader and great guy in the locker room," Lance said. "Super well respected around this building for how he handles himself, how tough he is."

He later added: "I've learned a lot from him on that side of things. Being able to work out with him in the offseason, I think, was huge this year during OTAs and everything. Just seeing how he goes about his business and got nothing but so much respect for him."

Lance knows the challenge awaiting him against the Broncos defense, but is ready to go for his first start of the year.

"Really, really good defense at all three levels," Lance said. "Guys just play hard, run to the ball, great at all three levels. Great pass rush, big D-Line. It will be a great opportunity to go out and compete."

Harbaugh added of Lance: "He's chomping at the bit to play."
