• Chargers' Justin Herbert: QBs to Sit

  17H ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Herbert will hopefully be OK after injuring his leg in Week 2 at Carolina, but even if he plays in Week 3 at Pittsburgh, he will once again be tough to trust in one-quarterback leagues. Through two games against the Raiders and Chargers, Herbert has combined for just 27.4 Fantasy points, and he has yet to top 145 passing yards in any contest. The Steelers have yet to face a prolific quarterback in two outings against Kirk Cousins and Bo Nix, but Pittsburgh has also allowed just one touchdown in two games. Herbert is just a low-end starter in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

  Herbert (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday. Herbert had a "significant limp" after Sunday's 26-3 win over the Panthers, although he didn't miss any snaps after injuring his right ankle in the third quarter, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. Head coach Jim Harbaugh declined to comment on Herbert's chances of playing this Sunday at Pittsburgh, merely saying that Herbert is already "feeling much better," while adding that Easton Stick is the next man up to start at quarterback.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Not seen at practice

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. Per Popper, Herbert's injury is to his right ankle, the same leg as the plantar fascia injury that the quarterback dealt with in training camp. Meanwhile, head coach Jim Harbaugh told Kris Rhim of ESPN.com that Herbert was feeling a lot better Wednesday, while acknowledging that Easton Stick would be in line to fill in Sunday against the Steelers if Herbert doesn't progress enough this week to be available for the contest.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Dealing with ankle injury

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert (ankle) will appear on Wednesday's injury report and may not be a full participant in the Chargers' first Week 3 practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. X-rays on Herbert's lower right leg Monday returned negative, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury during Los Angeles' 26-3 win over Carolina in Week 2. The franchise quarterback suffered the injury in the third quarter, but he was able to finish the contest after getting taped up. At this juncture, there's not yet any indication that Herbert is dealing with an injury that could affect his availability Sunday versus the Steelers, but it's possible his effectiveness as a runner could be hampered. The Chargers' first Week 3 injury report will be released later Wednesday and will provide more clarity on his health.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: X-rays come up negative

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that X-rays on Herbert's right leg were negative, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports. Harbaugh said Los Angeles will know more about Herbert's status as the week progresses, but for now it's encouraging that the franchise quarterback at least has avoided a fracture. It's worth noting that Monday's imaging results don't dismiss the possibility of a soft-tissue injury for Herbert, who got rolled up on in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Panthers but quickly managed to retake the field. The Chargers have Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke available behind Herbert heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Steelers.
