In the second half of Thursday's defeat to the Chiefs, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert sustained a significant blow to the midriff. According to the rules, he only missed one play before continuing.
Whatever the damage was or is, it had an impact on him. He pointed at his torso's left side on the sideline. At one point, while feeling uncomfortable, he declined the chance to run for a first down.
After the game, coach Brandon Staley told reporters that Herbert is "OK" and doesn't anticipate the injury to be a problem moving forward, according to Daniel Popper of TheAthletic.com. Staley claimed Herbert has a stomach ailment, maybe ribs.
Before facing the Jaguars in Week Three, Herbert gets three extra days. There is undoubtedly a problem that needs at least some time to resolve. Will Herbert eventually be late? Only time will tell.
He made several courageous attempts to change the outcome on Thursday night, and his big throws helped to reduce the final deficit to three.
