"I don’t know. That’s a decision we’ve got a couple of days left to make. We don’t play today, and so we play on Sunday. Whatever the plan is, I know our team is going to be prepared and do everything we can. That decision will be made on Sunday. Haven’t ruled anything out.”
Herbert's availability will play a huge part in how this game between the Chargers and the Jaguars goes. Chargers fans can only hope for the best because they will want to see their franchise quarterback play this game and lead them back to winning ways.
Justin Herbert will try his best to play the game against the Jaguars
With what we saw from Herbert in the game against the Chiefs is that he will fight through the pain to give his team a chance at winning. Both teams are currently 1-1, and need this win to gain momentum for the games ahead.
The Chargers are part of the AFC West, and they know that every game matters. If Justin Herbert plays this game, the Chargers will be a heavy favorite to get the win, which is why we can see Herbert pushing to play the game.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, on the other hand, have been quite impressive this season. They lost a close game to the Washington Commanders in Week 1, but completely dominated the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 to show that they aren't the same as they were last season.
The LA Chargers are currently a -3.0 favorite against the Jaguars, but that line will definitely change once Justin Herbert's injury status is confirmed.
