Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was diagnosed with an injury to the plantar fascia in his right foot and will need to wear a boot for a couple weeks.
The Chargers got their first bad news of training camp and this is certain to set back the offense. The team announced that quarterback Justin Herbert was diagnosed with an injury to the plantar fascia in his right foot. Depending upon the severity of the injury, and considering that is the plant foot for Herbert when he throws, those type of injuries can prove to be unpredictable. Doctors recommended Herbert wear a protective boot for approximately two weeks.
Over the last two seasons, Herbert has suffered bruised ribs, a torn labrum in his left shoulder and two broken fingers, the second of which sidelined him for the final four games of last season. Easton Stick, Max Duggan and Casey Bauman are next on the Chargers' quarterback depth chart. The team says they expect their franchise quarterback to be ready for the start of the regular season. The Chargers open the regular season on Sept. 8 at home against the Las Vegas Raiders.
