The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) is investigating the medical mishap by Taylor has been medically advised to not play any future games making his status week-to-week indefinite but head coach Anthony Lynn informed his team as well as the media Taylor will be the starting quarterback once he returns back to full health.
Taylor sustained two cracked ribs in the Chargers 16-13 win over the Bengals in Cincinnati and was brought to Los Angeles on a two-year deal this off-season.
