• Chargers' Justin Herbert: Limited in return to practice

  1H ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday. After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Herbert's return to a limited session a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, the QB appeared to have his right ankle heavily taped Thursday, so it remains to be seen if Herbert will be able to upgrade to full participation Friday. If that doesn't occur, he'd be likely to head into the weekend with a Week 3 injury designation.

Herbert was listed as a non-participant Wednesday, so his presence at the start of Thursday's session is seemingly a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

• Chargers' Justin Herbert: QBs to Sit

  23H 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 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: 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.
