Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert and Quentin Johnston shined in Wednesday's practice.
In his third practice back from a plantar fascia injury to his right foot, quarterback Justin Herbert threw four touchdowns on four straight pass attempts while completing 25 of his 29 pass attempts, per. The fifth-year quarterback lit up the practice field, hitting receiver Joshua Palmer on two touchdowns and also throwing touchdowns to Derius Davis, Donald Parham Jr., and Quentin Johnston.
Herbert reminded the team exactly what they had missed through the two weeks he was out of practice. Herbert, who was injured on July 31, had been wearing a walking boot until this weekend. Just days after getting out of a boot, Herbert was back to throwing multiple touchdowns in team drills. "He's the elite of the elite, so it makes everybody better, it makes our offense function at a higher level, it makes our defense have to function at a higher level," defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said Tuesday."He is unbelievable," Minter added. "He is as good as it gets in this league ... I think he has a chance to have a magical year with what our coaches will do with him on offense.
Another standout from Wednesday's practice was wide receiver Quentin Johnston. Johnston, the Chargers' first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has been under scrutiny after he largely struggled through his rookie season, catching just 38 passes for 431 yards. The scrutiny continued through the preseason this summer as the second-year receiver had been seen dropping passes in earlier practices.
