Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is gearing up for the team’s opening game against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday, and he’s feeling confident in his health. Despite missing more than two weeks of practice after wearing a walking boot, Herbert has reassured fans that he is now at 100 percent.
Speculation arose about the nature of Herbert’s injury, with initial reports suggesting it was related to his plantar fascia in his right foot. However, Herbert has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of his condition, stating, “You know, I think that’s just something that’s a personal thing that you’d like to keep to yourself.”
During his time off the field, Herbert focused on his recovery, describing the injury as a “more of a buildup” issue rather than a sudden incident. He made his return to practice on August 19 and has been participating fully ever since, without the aid of orthotics.
Despite the setback, Herbert maintains that he could have played through the injury if necessary. He emphasized that his absence from practice was merely a precautionary measure, as he prioritized his long-term health and now feels completely back to normal.
“If I didn’t feel comfortable, I wouldn’t be out there,” Herbert declared confidently, making it clear that he is prepared to lead the Chargers to victory in their upcoming matchup against the Raiders. Fans can rest assured that their star quarterback is locked in and ready to make a statement on the field.
