Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is a game-time decision for today’s matchup vs. Jacksonville, but Los Angeles is expected to be cautious with his rib cartilage injury.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports if Herbert gets a pain-killing injection in order to play, he must sign a waiver that advises him of the risks of the injection. Additionally, Mortensen says the Chargers have been “proactive” with the league and NFLPA in addressing Herbert’s injury.
Herbert suffered a rib cartilage fracture vs. Kansas City last week, which Mortensen says takes longer to heal due to the lack of blood flow to the cartilage.
