COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert continues to progress from his early-season injury but he has seen his favorite playmakers and other key players end up sidelined. Four of Herbert’s receivers have been sidelined while All-Pro offensive left tackle Rashawn Slater was lost for the year on Sept. 25 against Jacksonville. The Chargers are 4-3 during their bye week, but four of their next five games are on the road, beginning on Nov. 6 against Atlanta.
