00:00We heard a lot about how the plantar fasciitis is going to be affecting his throat, his plant
00:08foot.
00:09Lingering.
00:10Right.
00:11Where are we now with this injury and the fact that this could be a lingering injury?
00:18What's the outlook on this?
00:20Plantar fasciitis indeed can linger.
00:23But what I said and what we said at Sports Injury Central, SICscore.com from the beginning
00:28is that there's no way he's missing games and he's not missing week one or any games.
00:34He will be able to play through, sometimes with the painkilling injections, medication,
00:39orthotics, tape job.
00:41But the question is, how much does it linger and how much does the lack of practice time?
00:47Now, admittedly, he was there all offseason.
00:50How much does the lack of practice time with young wide receivers and a new coordinator
00:57and a new head coach and a new system, how does that affect him downstream?
01:02Look, back in the day, Phillip Rivers had plantar fasciitis.
01:04It was never really reported and played through, obviously, everything he's had.
01:09But Rivers is not as vulnerable, we'll give Herbert that kind of thing.
01:15I think he's going to play and be fine.
01:17It's just, you know, newness in the system and how much it lingers.
