Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert throws a touchdown pass against the Los Angeles Chargers an NFL football game on Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024, in Charlotte, N.C. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Quarterback Justin Herbert did not practice on Wednesday as the Los Angeles Chargers began preparations for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers .
Coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday that X-rays on Herbert’s ankle were negative. Before Wednesday’s practice Harbaugh said he expects the fifth-year quarterback to continue to get healthier as the week goes along.The injury happened with 2:03 remaining in the third quarter. Herbert moved up in the pocket as it collapsed, but his lower right leg was rolled up on from behind by linebacker D.J. Johnson as he fumbled the ball at the Carolina 20-yard line.
Herbert missed two weeks during training camp because of an injury to the plantar fascia in his right foot, but has been full-go in practice during the first two weeks of the regular season. He also had a torn labrum to his non-throwing shoulder near the end of the 2022 season and two broken fingers last year, including one on his throwing hand that caused him to miss the final four games.
When asked who would start on Sunday if Herbert couldn’t go, Harbaugh said “right now it’s Easton, but we’re going to be way over the legal limit of what-ifs.”
