Yahoo Sports NFL on Justin Herbert

ArticleChargers Injury Report: Quentin Johnston, Derwin Hames OUT vs. BroncosOctober 9, 2026

From the article

If he does not play, they would most likely be forced start four rookies at left tackle, left guard, center, and right tackle this week. Taylor returning to start at left guard would at least provide a veteran (well, second year) presence between Slaughter and presumed starter Logan Taylor on Justin Herbert's blindside.

Justin Herbert may face rookie-heavy O-line if Branson Taylor doesn't play.

Chargers quarterback facing potential rookie-heavy offensive line if Branson Taylor does not return; Taylor's return would provide veteran presence on Herbert's blindside.
