Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to make a decision during pregame warm-ups on Sunday about whether to take a pain-killing injection in his fractured rib cartilage to try and play against the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Herbert "is pushing to play," a source told Schefter. Though Herbert wants to play, there was growing skepticism about his status going into the weekend; the decision to play has bounced back and forth throughout the week, Schefter reports.
Herbert was injured against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2, taking a hit from defensive end Mike Danna that left him lying on the field for an extended period.
