Uncertainty Surrounds Justin Herbert's Availability Amid Full Practice Participation as Chargers Gear Up for Chiefs Showdown

Saturday, September 28th, 2024

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who has been recovering from a high right ankle sprain, is anticipated to play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert completed the week without any setbacks and feels better this weekend compared to the last.

Herbert initially suffered the sprain during the Chargers' Week 2 win. He missed two days of practice before the Steelers game, where he aggravated the injury and was unable to complete the game.

Despite aggravating the injury, Herbert is confident in his recovery and has practiced every day this week. He has participated in 7-on-7 drills and is determined to play.

The Chargers have a bye in Week 5, and resting Herbert this week was discussed. However, he does not favor sitting out.

Herbert faces a challenging situation with starting tackles Rashawn Slater (out) and Joe Alt (doubtful) unavailable. Nevertheless, he trusts the team's backups and is not worried about further aggravating his injury.

Herbert remains optimistic about his progress, believing that his injury has improved. He emphasizes evaluating his condition daily and making a decision based on his readiness.
