Report: Chargers QB Tyrod Taylor Expected to Miss Week 4 with Punctured Lung

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be out through at least Week 4 as a result of his punctured lung, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Doctors have forbidden him from doing any strenuous activity for the next two weeks.

The veteran had initially suffered cracked ribs and was getting a pregame injection before the Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs when the team doctor accidentally punctured his lungs, per Schefter. He missed the game and was taken to the hospital.

It will now cost him at least three games after already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.
