Justin Herbert: Peter King left concerned for Chargers after QB's injury

Justin Herbert could have become something of a concern for the Los Angeles Chargers following the injury he suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Peter King.

Justin Herbert is a player who in his first few seasons in the NFL, has shown that he has everything available to him in terms of the skillset and the players around him on the Los Angeles Chargers to become a true force in the NFL for a number of years to come.

Having been taken with the #6 pick of the 2020 NFL Draft as the successor to franchise quarterback Philip Rivers, Herbert had to wait a little bit before the Chargers put him on the field, and that came by pure accident as an injury suffered by starter Tyrod Taylor before a game against the Kansas City Chiefs meant that he was thrust into the limelight at the last minute.

He put on a show in his debut, and didn’t let up from there, going on to set a number of records in his first two seasons in the NFL, setting the record for most passing yards in a quarterback’s first two seasons with 9,350, most total touchdowns in a quarterback’s first two seasons with 77 and became the first quarterback to record 30 touchdown passes in each of his first two seasons.

He carried on that high level of performance last night against the Chiefs, throwing for 334 yards and 3 touchdowns in their thrilling loss, but his night was punctuated by two negative plays despite his brilliant performance. First he threw a crucial pick-six when the Chargers were knocking on the door to score again:
