We ask the Experts - Did Tyrod Taylor's injury cause him to lose a starting position?
The Los Angeles Chargers doctor who is caring for Justin Herbert's fractured rib cartilage is being sued for medical malpractice by former Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who is seeking at least $5 million after suffering a punctured lung while being treated for a rib injury in 2020, according to copies of the original lawsuit and subsequent filings related to the case obtained by ESPN.
As a 30-year NFL consultant, scout, assistant general manager for various NFL teams, and Expert Strategy Group Expert, I have seen many injuries in my career. If you play rough enough, you get hurt. The Chargers' injury caused Taylor to lose a starting job that he was hanging on to at the time while 1st round pick Justin Herbert was getting ready to take over. Had Tylor continued to play in 2020 with moderate success, he would have likely been worth solid backup QB money at the season's end.
