Chargers QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs, chest, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 3. Justin Herbert will draw the start.

Report: Chargers team doctor punctured QB Tyrod Taylor's (chest) lung

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

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Report: Chargers QB Tyrod Taylor had bad reaction to injection

Monday brought more details about why the Chargers made a last-minute switch to Justin Herbert at quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.

Tyrod Taylor was set to start for the second straight week, but got taken to the hospital after experiencing chest pains before the game. NFL Media reports that those chest pains were caused by a bad reaction to a painkilling injection before the game.

Fantasy Impact:

A rib injury was the reason why Taylor was getting the injection. He was listed on Friday’s injury report as a full participant with the rib injury and was reportedly set to play with a flak jacket to protect the area, the story said. Herbert was impressive, throwing for over 300 yards and a TD in an OT loss to the Chiefs. The Chargers say they will go back to Taylor if he's healthy, but it's worth monitoring.
