Chargers QB Justin Herbert (foot) has shed his walking boot and appears to be on to the next step of his recovery. He had an injury in his right foot to the plantar fascia. The expectation has been that Herbert will play in Week 1 and no longer being in a walking boot backs up that timeline.

"I think he's going to be OK," HC Kevin O'Connell said afterward, according to Matthew Coller of Purple Insider. O'Connell added that the WR likely won't practice Thursday. We'll certainly watch for further confirmation on Addison's status, but it doesn't sound like you should adjust your fantasy expectations for him at all.

Addison reportedly made it off the field before riding the cart.
