Justin Herbert expected to start against Panthers

After a sensational NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s looking more and more likely that Justin Herbert will retain the starting quarterback job for at least one more week, especially with Tyrod Taylor currently dealing with a punctured lung stemming from the pain-killer injection administered to him this past Sunday.

Alerted that he was starting right before kickoff, the No. 6 overall pick went 22 of 33 for 311 yards with a TD and an INT vs the defending Super Bowl champs. He didn’t blink.
