Chargers superstar QB Justin Herbert appears to be seriously hurt after the team’s first game of the season.
Herbert was slammed to the ground several times in the fourth quarter of the Chargers-Chiefs game.
At one point, Herbert was forced to leave the game for a brief period.

Things were so bad for Herbert that it was clear that he couldn’t run for a few yards for a first down.
