Herbert (ankle) said Friday that it's "yet to be decided" if he'll play Sunday at Pittsburgh, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Additionally, Herbert relayed that he's dealing with a high right-ankle sprain.

Herbert played all 69 offensive snaps during the Chargers' Week 2 win at Carolina, but afterward he underwent X-rays on his right leg, which were returned negative. He eventually was diagnosed with a generic ankle injury and didn't return to practice until Thursday, when he was limited. During that session, Herbert's right ankle was heavily taped, per Rhim, and now that the nature of the issue has been confirmed by the quarterback, it's no surprise he hasn't taken many practice reps this week. The Chargers will reveal a Week 3 game designation later Friday, with Easton Stick on hand to start if Herbert is unable to play.
