AFC Notes: Justin Herbert, Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders

Chargers

  • NFL Media’s Bridget Condon reports the Chargers are in a “wait and see” period with QB Justin Herbert (fractured rib cartilage) and the quarterback was able to throw in Tuesday’s practice without appearing to be in any pain.

Chiefs

Raiders

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports recently retired CB Joe Haden intended to play this season and had some interest from the Cardinals, Rams, Dolphins and Raiders.
