More than a fiasco, I'd say.

The Los Angeles Chargers have a full-blown fiasco on their hands.

Head coach Anthony Lynn addressed the situation again on Wednesday, this time with the public now aware of exactly what happened to quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

News broke Wednesday morning with a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter the team doctor punctured Taylor’s lung with a pain management injection prior Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Taylor was a late scratch with what was described as a chest injury, and Lynn revealed postgame that he had to be hospitalized. NFL Network reported on Monday that that “chest injury” was actually a result of complications from a pregame injection. Now we know that injection damaged one of Taylor’s lungs.

Lynn confirmed the report with reporters on Wednesday and also shared his thoughts on the team doctor.

“I’m not angry at all,” Lynn said, per NFL Network. ... “No one’s perfect. ... The doctor is a good man. It’s just unfortunate.”

Lynn is in the position of navigating a minefield here through no fault of his own. Beyond the obvious and immediate concerns around Taylor’s health, Lynn is left to manage what is all of a sudden a very precarious quarterback situation with legal implications and the long-term trajectory of the team in play.
