Coach Brandon Staley said the QB was considered day-to-day, adding that a fractured rib could have been a far worse injury.
Here’s what we learned, what we heard and what comes next for the Chargers after a bruising 27-24 loss to the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night gave them with a 1-1 record to start the season:
However, it wasn’t immediately certain whether Herbert would be sound enough to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 25 at SoFi Stadium. Staley said Herbert would be re-evaluated Monday. Herbert missed one play after he was injured, returning to the field after backup Chase Daniel replaced him for a handoff to running back Sony Michel and a short gain on first down at the Chargers’ 34. Herbert then returned to the game and tossed two incompletions, forcing the Chargers to punt.
Staley said he spoke with Herbert and the Chargers’ medical personnel on the sideline before allowing the quarterback to continue in the game. Herbert was in obvious pain upon returning to the field, particularly when he tossed one ball away rather than scrambling into an open field.
