Chargers QB Tyrod Taylor is expected to miss the team’s Week 4 game against the Buccaneers as he continues to recover from cracked ribs and a punctured lung.

It will be another start for rookie Justin Herbert, who looked good in his debut against the Chiefs and is set to take on the Panthers in Week 3. The team has remained adamant that Taylor will be back once he is healthy, but this is going to take some time. The Chargers play on Monday night in Week 5 against the Saints. Their bye isn’t until Week 10.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that WR Davante Adams is "probably doubtful" for Sunday night against the Saints but "we'll give him the rest of the week to see where he's at," according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Aaron Rodgers's favorite target may end up being Aaron Jones Sunday night. Rodgers also has Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to help the Packers move down the field, but neither has the same level of trust from Rodgers as Adams. Jones' fantasy stock would rise if Adams does sit out, while Lazard and MVS can expect a fair uptick in targets.

According to Matt Schneidman on Twitter, Green Bay Packers Davante Adams missed Thursday's practice.

Hopefully, they are just playing safe with their superstar wide receiver, as missing Adams for Week 3 would be a huge blow to an offense without a true number two wide receiver. Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would move into two wide sets if Adams were to miss any time, with Tyler Ervin likely to see three-wide snaps ahead of Malik Turner. Only two of Ervin's snaps have come in the backfield all season. The Packers do play Sunday night, so the suggestion here is to get him into a flex spot with a late window backup until there is more clarity on this situation.

Head Coach Matt LaFleur announced the Packers plan to hold WR Davante Adams out of practice Wednesday as he recovers from a minor hamstring injury.

Speaking after Sunday's game, LaFleur appeared to downplay Adams's injury as minor and even suggested he could have gone back in the game if the score was closer. This suggests that holding Adams out of practice Wednesday is merely precautionary, although hamstring injuries can never be taken for granted. Check back Thursday for an update on Adams's practice status.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that a Chargers team doctor accidentally punctured QB Tyrod Taylor's lung while giving him an injection on Sunday.

What a wild story. Taylor was mysteriously ruled out just before kickoff Sunday, thrusting rookie Justin Herbert into the starting role. We now know why Taylor was ruled out and the odd circumstances leading to his absence. Herbert played well in Taylor's absence, but Head Coach Anthony Lynn stubbornly continues to insist Talyor is the starter when healthy. Taylor's timeframe to return is unclear, and it seems likely Herbert will get another start this week. Herbert starting might actually be a slight upgrade for the Chargers skill players in fantasy.

Packers WR Davante Adams’ hamstring strain is considered minor, source said.

That's the good news, the bad news is his status for Week 3 is still to be determined, Pelissero's tweet said. The Packers take on the Saints in Week 3. The tweet went on to say: coach Matt LaFleur said Adams wanted to return to Sunday's game, but it's a long season and the team needs him healthy. We also reported Adams wanted to get back in the game after the news broke of his injury so that is a bit of encouraging news.

Wide receiver Davante Adams left the game with a hamstring injury and did not return.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur gave a positive update about the wideout’s condition during his press conference.

“I know he wanted to go back in the game,” LaFleur said, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I just told him, ‘Hey, let’s see how these next few series go, and see if we need you’ Obviously, he’s a huge part of what we do offensively and a key member of this football team. If we don’t need him, we didn’t want to put him back in a position to do further harm to his own body.”

It sounds like Adams could have gone back in the game if the Packers needed him. All-in-all, it seems like good news for Adams and his owners. We'll likely know more when Wednesday's injury report comes out.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said there were "complications" with quarterback Tyrod Taylor's treatment for chest pains Sunday but Taylor is "recovering well."

Lynn did not elaborate on what led to Taylor being hospitalized, but he said the quarterback was home Sunday night and at practice Monday. Reports say he had a bad reaction to an injection. Lynn insists Taylor will start over Herbert if healthy, despite Herbert shining in Week 2 against the Chiefs. Other reports say Lynn said Taylor gives the team the best chance to win.
