The Jacksonville Jaguars have been discussing when they will play Justin Herbert all week.

Now the question is whether or not the young gunslinger will play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

With a rib ailment, Herbert was categorised as questionable.

Despite being cleared to play through injury last Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, Herbert had long been anticipated to play on Sunday by the Jaguars coaches.

However, the chances for the Jaguars' away game changed on Friday as Herbert saw backup quarterback Chase Daniel perform all first-team drills in front of the media.

As of Friday morning, the Jaguars were 7.5-point underdogs.

But on Friday afternoon, the line was reduced to just 3.5 after momentarily being pulled off the board.

This four-point swing makes the contest more or less a toss-up and gives the Chargers credit for being the home team.
