The Chargers opened with one of the toughest two-game stretches for any team in the league. They’re 1-1 with the softest part of their schedule coming up. Unfortunately, there’s a chance they do not begin that stretch with their starting quarterback.
Justin Herbert is currently dealing with a fracture to his rib cartilage. That doesn’t sound great, but it’s much better than an actual fracture to one of his ribs. As it stands, it’ll come down to Herbert’s pain tolerance and whether or not the coaching staff believes it’s worth throwing him out there against Jacksonville 10 days post-injury.
