#Chargers Justin Herbert - High ankle re-aggravation. Walking w/full weight = no fracture. Lean towards playing Wk 4. MRI Mon
#Chargers Joey Bosa - Lean towards missing Wk 4. Re-aggravation often worse than initial injury
#Chargers Rashawn Slater - Pec for OL = heavily involved in blocking. High risk of missing Wk 4
#Chargers Joe Alt - Ankle. O-line often able to play the next wk but severity varies. Prob MRI pending

You MIGHT be able to pull that off if you're Shanahan and you have a loaded roster around your dirt cheap QB, but Herbert's contract will be a cap impediment that prevents them from building that super-team around him.
So he HAS to be developed and used as a force multiplier. And giving him a premier LT (Slater) and solid RT with arguably the best young WR in football is a far smarter path forward than what Harbaugh did.
What Harbaugh did is a classic case of a coach being dogmatic and building his team around his system instead of tailoring his system to fit his team.
It's the mark of a mid-wit head coach who thinks he's more accomplished and intelligent than he is.
And I, for one, welcome it.
It's great!
My favorite move is that, on top of drafting a LT to move him to RT instead of a dynamic WR who breaks ankles like crazy, he ALSO brought in an offensive coordinator whose passing offenses designs are routinely laughed at/mocked, when he has a golden-armed passing QB (who happens to be athletic).
And then they come into the season with that guy dealing with plantar fascitis AND CALL ZONE READ PLAYS for him. And he gets hurt.
You hate to see it, but mostly you fucking love to see it.

Matt Ryan's the equivalent of a coach who took a franchise that sucked for a decade to three straight NFC championships and a SB, with Alex Smith and Kaepernick (and then won a college national championship)?
All righty.
