A coach gives an update on a patient. There is a 0:29
Six days after suffering a fractured rib, Los Angeles Clippers quarterback Justin Herbert is considered day-to-day, according to coach Brandon Staley.
He has gotten a lot of rest. He's more at ease. I know that he was able to do some light throwing yesterday, but we are just going to take it day by day and see where he is comfortable.
During the brief portion of practice open to reporters, Herbert didn't throw a pass. The third-year quarterback was watching as the backups threw.
Herbert was a limited participant on the injury report.
Donald Parham Jr., who has been dealing with a leg injury, and receiver Keenan Allen, who has been dealing with a leg injury, returned to practice.
It will be a decision that begins with the quarterback.
"It will start with him and then obviously him feeling good about what the medical team feels like is best, him weighing the options and then us making a good decision."
The doctor who is caring for Herbert's injury is being sued by Tyrod Taylor, who is seeking at least $5 million after suffering a punctured lung while being treated for a rib injury in 2020.
The care of players is of paramount importance and there was no apprehension about Herbert's treatment.
Staley said that his biggest responsibility as a coach was to take care of his players. "I think we have full alignment with his family, his agents, and then the medical professionals, and that's what we're going to try to do is have alignment that way and trust the process and hopefully get him well soon."
Herbert had an injury in last Thursday's game.
The quarterback was lying on the field for an extended period after Mike Danna hit him.
After missing only one play, Herbert was hit again by Frank Clark and George Karlaftis. Herbert continued to play in the game.
Herbert has passed for over 600 yards in two games and has six touchdown passes.
