Would you guys trade Jenkins for DK?

Waiting to find out that the team Dr. is related to Herbert's agent

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29952469/chargers-qb-tyrod-taylor-lung-punctured-team-doc-sources-say

A Los Angeles Chargers team doctor accidentally punctured quarterback Tyrod Taylor's lung just before kickoff Sunday while trying to administer a pain-killing injection to the quarterback's cracked ribs, league and team sources told ESPN.

That is the reason Taylor did not start Sunday and rookie quarterback Justin Herbert unexpectedly did against the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs, in an arrangement that is likely to continue Sunday against the Carolina Panthers and quite possibly beyond.

It also helps explain why Chargers coach Anthony Lynn strongly backed Taylor on Sunday night and again this week. Many coaches believe that no player should lose his job to an injury -- especially one that accidentally came at the hands of a team doctor. The Chargers previously said Taylor suffered complications from an injection. Those complications were a punctured lung.

The NFL Players Association is investigating the medical mishap, sources said, seeing what steps it should take next. An NFLPA official declined comment Wednesday about Taylor's punctured lung.

The injection that Taylor received is not entirely uncommon, but it is considered a blind injection and carries a risk. Still, it is rare that a player suffers a punctured lung from the injection, especially right before kickoff.

Taylor suffered two cracked ribs early during the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but he didn't have an MRI on the injury until later that week. Taylor was added to the Chargers' injury report with a rib injury Friday, but after he was a full participant in practice that day, the quarterback was removed from the report.

He planned to take a pain-killing injection for the rib injury Sunday, but after the Chargers doctor punctured his lung, Taylor wound up in the hospital Sunday night to be treated for the injury and the struggles he had breathing.

Doctors have advised Taylor not to play "indefinitely." The Chargers wanted Taylor to start this week, but doctors are against it.

One reason the Chargers want Taylor to continue as their quarterback is his production and reliability. He has a winning record as a starting quarterback, didn't turn over the football in Week 1 and has the trust and respect of his teammates.

I hope they have good malpractice insurance.

No wonder Taylor looked like hell on the sidelines early on.

Crazy situation for sure.

As far as a lawsuit probably depends if it happened because of a mistake/negligence by the doctor or was it just a freak thing that was not easily preventable. Also did they make him aware that this was a possible complication before hand, I've seen a couple former players mention they knew it was a possible thing with a rib injection.

I understand I am watching two of the worst NFL teams play in a meaningless game over a WCF NBA game. But I choose to watch this instead of watching Denver play 5 on 8 again.

I just wanted to reiterate that I'm still pissed we didn't draft TJ Watt in 2017.

Pretty sure there were some attitude red flags, also - a little more than standard WR fare, at least is what was feared.

What do you mean by attitude? DK has never been in trouble off the field.

He had a neck injury that cut his Senior year short at Ole Miss. There were also concerns that he wasn't a great route runner. Which is kind of ridiculous now. He's making a lot of teams look silly.
