Justin Herbert’s recovery picks up pace as his return lifts energy at Chargers practice

LA Times  

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who returned to practice Monday for the first time since last month because of a foot injury, participated in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday. With Herbert sidelined since last month, a practical worry was the quarterback’s connection with the revamped receiving corps now that former star starters Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are elsewhere. “There are little details he’s trying to work on and whatnot, but man, he looked pretty darn good.” Although Roman didn’t quite hear the “angelic voices” — as Jim Harbaugh described upon Herbert’s return Monday — he acknowledged the joy of having their franchise player back under center. “Any time you have a guy like that, there is a presence that comes along with it.” On the defensive side, cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. agrees that Herbert’s return has shifted the vibe.
