Chargers' Justin Herbert: No injury designation
Justin Herbert (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Broncos.The Los Angeles Chargers held a walk-through practice Wednesday but estimate that Herbert would've been a full participant in a more strenuous session. He was listed with ankle and thigh injuries last week, before completing 21 of 33 passes for 195 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in a 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay. Another loss Thursday night would make the Chargers highly unlikely to be anything besides the No. 7 seed for the AFC Playoffs, while a win would keep them in the running to be fifth/sixth.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Limited in practice Tuesday
Justin Herbert (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session.Herbert's limited participation Tuesday followed his designation as limited in Monday's walkthrough. The star quarterback is still dealing with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 14 against Kansas City, though the issue didn't prevent him from suiting up this past Sunday in a loss to Tampa Bay. Barring a setback, Herbert seems to be in line to play against Denver on Thursday Night Football this week.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Estimated as limited Monday
Justin Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.Herbert has been dealing with ankle and thigh issues for the last couple weeks, and he appeared to aggravate the ankle in Sunday's loss to the Bucs, though he missed just one offensive snap. The limited start to the week would suggest Herbert has a good chance to suit up Thursday night against the Broncos. If Herbert isn't cleared to play, Taylor Heinicke would likely draw in as the starter.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Throws first pick since September
Justin Herbert completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 195 yards, two touchdowns and one interception without recording a rushing attempt in Sunday's 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay.Herbert was limited in practice by a pair of lower-body injuries, but he did not carry an injury designation into Sunday's blowout loss. The star quarterback threw his first interception in nearly three calendar months (Week 2 at Carolina) after the team adopted head coach Jim Harbaugh's mistake-free style of play. It was an overall odd game from Herbert, who also did not record an official rushing attempt for the first time this season. The Los Angeles Chargers will need to have a short memory following the ugly loss before hosting the 9-5 Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Not practicing
Justin Herbert (ankle/thigh) won't practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Los Angeles Chargers' official site reports.Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier Wednesday that Herbert is dealing with a left ankle injury unrelated to the one he dealt with earlier this season, as well as a leg contusion, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Herbert left Sunday's loss to the Chiefs in the second quarter, but then returned in short order and led the Chargers offense to 17 points after halftime.

The franchise quarterback could be seen walking with a visible limp after Sunday's contest, but it doesn't appear as though he expects to still be dealing with any restrictions versus Tampa Bay in Week 15. Herbert completed 21 of 30 pass attempts for 213 yards and one touchdown versus Kansas City, in addition to taking four carries for 12 yards.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Over 200 passing yards in loss
Justin Herbert completed 21 of his 30 pass attempts for 213 passing yards and a touchdown in the 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also carried the ball four times for 12 yards.Despite entering the game without his favorite target in Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) and losing another in Will Dissly (shoulder) during the contest, Herbert played well enough despite the hostile conditions. The Pro Bowl quarterback sprinkled the ball around to eight different targets and completed more than 20 passes for just the second time in the last six contests. He also left the game briefly after taking a big hit to his lower body, but the 26-year-old was able to return after missing just one play. Coach Jim Harbaugh clarified after the game that Herbert was dealing with a leg contusion, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The status of McConkey will be worth monitoring given Los Angeles' next opponent is the porous Tampa Bay pass defense, and should the rookie play, Herbert could be poised for a solid fantasy day.
