FILE - Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert looks to throw a pass during the team's NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams on Jan. 1, 2023, in Inglewood, Calif. Herbert is more concerned about rehabbing his left shoulder than a contract extension. Herbert said during the team's draft party Thursday, April 27, that he is hoping to be on the field for the team's organized practices in less than a month. Herbert had surgery to repair the torn labrum on his non-throwing shoulder in late January after being injured in a Jan. 1 game. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)
