The Los Angeles Chargers will start Justin Herbert at quarterback moving forward.

The Chargers had planned to start Tyrod Taylor once he recovers from a team doctor accidentally puncturing his lung with a painkilling injection, but Herbert has bene impressive in his role.

"He impressed from the very beginning," Anthony Lynn said. "This young man is going to continue to get better and I know we can win with him. I believe that.

"I did not take that decision lightly. It's not a decision where he's going to be looking over his shoulder... he's our quarterback."
