Charger’s QB Tyrod Taylor’s Lung Punctured by Team Doctor
A Los Angeles Charger’s team doctor accidentally punctured quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s lung while trying to give him a pain killing injection to his cracked ribs. Taylor’s injury is not career threatening, head coach Anthony Lynn said, adding that the doctor “just made a mistake.”
The NFL Players Association is investigating the medical mishap, according to NFLPA assistant executive director of external affairs George Atallah. “Our medical and legal team have been in touch with Tyrod and his agent since Sunday, collecting facts.”
This article is very news worthy in my opinion because I think it is crazy that a doctor messed up so badly that it punctured a players lung. Also, Taylor could possibly lose his job to rookie quarterback, Justin Herbert, as Herbert had an outstanding game last weekend.
The performance of the replacement was missing from
this story. I guess I will have to look up the score…..
22 of 33 passing, 311 yards is good.
