The Chargers made several roster moves Tuesday as injuries continue to pile up across the offensive line. Veteran Daniel Brunskill joins the practice squad, while Branson Taylor and Scott Matlock have had their practice windows opened as Los Angeles searches for much-needed depth heading into a divisional matchup with Denver. But the bigger concern is Justin Herbert. Through four games, Herbert has put together a statistical stretch no other NFL quarterback has matched this season—and not in a good way. Taylor Bloom breaks down the numbers behind Herbert’s difficult start, why injuries and protection issues have played a major role, and whether the second half against Seattle was the first sign that Herbert can turn things around. Can Herbert rediscover his old form and help the Chargers finally get into the win column against the Broncos?
