Justin Herbert

Justin Herbert (foot) has shed his walking boot.

Herbert shed it for weight room work. It’s possible the 26-year-old still slaps it on another time or two in the days ahead, but it’s a clear sign he is headed in the right direction after going down two weeks ago. Setbacks happen all the time, but for the moment, Herbert is well on track to return to the practice field comfortably ahead of Week 1.
