The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is recovering well from his left shoulder setback, the player himself revealed. This confirms a report from ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry that Herbert is hopeful to begin throwing again “in the next couple of weeks” as he continues his recovery process.
When questioned on Thursday, Herbert revealed that he believes that he is now “getting closer to 75 percent” recovered after undergoing surgery in January on his non-throwing left shoulder to repair a torn labrum.
“It’s a pretty long process,” Herbert remarked at the Chargers’ draft party. “Kind of expecting it to be a five- or six-month recovery and being on the lead shoulder, it’s kind of tough throwing and golfing and doing all those things that are kind of explosive movements.”
Herbert’s update was not the only major news concerning the Chargers on Thursday. The team selected TCU wideout Quentin Johnston as their first-round pick on Thursday night. Selected 21st overall, Johnston expressed his joy at joining the Chargers and his excitement to play alongside Herbert.
