Tyrod Taylor's Lung Punctured Accidentally By Team Doc

Tyrod Taylor had his lung accidentally punctured by a team doctor while treating cracked ribs on Sunday.

Week 2 in the NFL featured several major injuries, including some that were season-ending, but Tyrod Taylor's is the most bizarre. The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback was being administered a pain killer by a team doctor, who accidentally punctured his lung in the process. Taylor, who was aiming to treat cracked ribs when the accident occurred, was a late scratch Sunday against the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and will now likely miss multiple starts. Rookie Justin Herbert will lead the Chargers at QB going forward.
