The quarterback will be in a boot for two weeks in hopes of being ready for Week 1.
"Following 's practice, Justin Herbert was diagnosed with an injury to the plantar fascia in his right foot," the team said in a statement. "Doctors have recommended approximately two weeks in a boot—followed by a graduated return to play protocol—with the expectation that he will be ready for the start of the regular season."
It's never good when a franchise quarterback goes down with an injury this early into training camp, and it becomes even more of a problem when the quarterback is learning a new offensive system with a brand new coaching staff like Herbert is with Jim Harbaugh and Co.. Herbert's foot injury comes after he played in just 13 games last season due to a fractured right index finger that prematurely ended his season in early December.
Herbert completed 65.1% of his passes for 3,134 yards and 20 touchdowns to seven interceptions prior to the season-ending injury.Mike McDaniel is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
