As training camps have begun for all NFL franchises, injuries have also returned. And the Chargers are the first to pay a heavy price, since the franchise announced on X that Justin Herbert, the star quarterback, is injured.
Following yesterday's practice, Justin Herbert was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Doctors have recommended approximately two weeks in a boot, followed by a gradual return-to-play protocol, with the hopes of having him ready for the start of the regular season.
While it's not yet time to panic, the potential absence of the Chargers star is terrible news for the California franchise. Under contract for another 4 seasons, Herbert has the heavy mission of carrying a rebuilding team in a division dominated by Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs.
