Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert revealed that he has an ankle sprain and his status for Week 3 is in question.
The Los Angeles Chargers may be bracing for a reality in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers that involves not having star quarterback Justin Herbert on the field. Herbert revealed that he is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and has been listed as questionable for the game this weekend.If Herbert can't give it a go, backup Easton Stick would likely take his place. Stick filled in for Herbert at the end of last season and went winless in four attempts.
Los Angeles is hoping to have their leader in the game but they could elect to be cautious with his injury. The last thing that the Chargers want is to have this flare up even worse or have it linger throughout the long season.Sitting Herbert against Pittsburgh could be a smart decision as it would allow him ample time to recover. But the competitor in Herbert will be doing whatever he can to suit up for this matchup.
