        X-rays Clean On Justin Herbert's Ankle

        X-rays Clean On Justin Herbert's Ankle

        X-rays on Chargers QB Justin Herbert's ankle came back clean, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He'll continue to be monitored this week," Rapoport adds.

        Chargers QB Justin Herbert aggravated his ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. He's officially questionable to return, but The Athletic's Daniel Popper tweets that Herbett "has a hat on, limping badly on sideline. Would be shocked if he returns to this game." QB Taylor Heinicke has replaced Herbert.

        Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. He practiced on Thursday or Friday but revealed Friday that he's dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Herbert said he's “getting better every day" but wouldn't guarantee that he'll play on Sunday. We'll look for further updates on his status and get Los Angeles' inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. But Herbert is not a QB1 option and is a shaky play even in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
