Tyrod Taylor is suing Los Angeles Chargers team doctor David S. Gazzaniga for medical malpractice, according to court documents obtained by ESPN, after Gazzaniga accidentally punctured Taylor's lung while trying to administer a pain-killer to Taylor's ribs.
Two years ago — almost to the day — Taylor was forced to miss a Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, which opened the door for then-rookie Justin Herbert to seize the job and never relinquish it. Taylor, who had entered the year as the Chargers' starter, played just one more snap in 2020.
