Justice Herbert
of the Charger will consider getting a painkiller injection for his rib injury
.
Herbert suffered a left side the injury
when he was hit by Chiefs defensive end Mike Danna late in the Chargers’ 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 15
Chargers Coach Brandon Staley described Herbert as “day-by-day” on Friday
former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said, “I’ve had that injury and it stinks.”
Hasselbeck said on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown,” but former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan was outspoken
Herbert’s injection would be, according to ESPN, guided by ultrasound to avoid hitting a lung
Herbert’s protection up front will likely also suffer a bit with center Corey Linsley listed as doubtful with a knee injury.
