Fantasy Football Injury Report: Notable Status Updates Before NFL Week 3

Not surprisingly, Justin Herbert is making a push to play through the pain. He?s a very competitive dude and doesn?t want to miss a game. He threw some yesterday and felt better but not all the way there. The #Chargers will see how he feels later today. https://t.co/dF36Wk9SV7

The Chargers medical team have ?encouraged? Herbert to take the ?long view? in weighing his decision.
The cartilage injury can last several weeks or several months. Rib protector can?t help with rotation when Herbert twists and throws.
And he plays football.

Raiders? RB Josh Jacobs, who flew separately from the team to Tennessee due to an illness and is listed as questionable for today, will work out in pregame warmups to determine his availability. There is optimism he will be ready to play, but no decision until pregame warmups.
