Justin Herbert dealing with a high ankle sprain
 

Could be Easton Stick time again. Chargers play the Steelers this week.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Justin Herbert said it’s “yet to be decided” whether he’ll play Sunday. He said the injury is a high right ankle sprain.

Well, of course he is. It's football season.

Herbert is legitimately injury prone at this point.

Rethinking that Chargers pick right now.

PIT pass rush is gonna give anyone problems, even LA's tackles.

Justin Herbert is also dealing with an acute case of loseritis.

Anybody watched much of the Chargers this year? A friend of mine mentioned he saw some and it looked like Herbert kept getting crushed and pass protection didn't look good. This dude is generally pretty smart about what he sees in NFL games so kinda hoping this is a thing for them.

i would absolutely sit him, they need him healthy against us in 9 days

Should probably sit him for both if at all. They aren't beating us either way so get healthy instead.

Tackles are phenomenal but he’ll hold onto the football

High ankle sprains don't heal in two weeks.

He’s 32-32 in his career. He’s lost 10 more games than Patrick Mahomes has in 34 fewer starts.

Gonna be an interesting battle. Alt gave Clowney his worst PFF grade of his entire career last Sunday.

Hate to say it but they’ve probably got the best bookend tackles in the business right now

And nobody ever holds him accountable for the poor decisions he makes that costs them football games.

"Overrated and Injury Prone" aren't great things to have attached to the QB you just showered millions upon and who your head coach seems to have little interest in...

Harbaugh would dump Herbert and his contract for Brock Purdy in a heartbeat. We kinda thought Herbert would be a draw for an incoming HC but I think it may have actually been an impediment for Harbaugh.

Oh I don't think it's particularly close.

Alt may make the All Pro team as a rookie. He may ALREADY be better than Slater.

Great, great player.

Still a luxury item for those guys, though.

Nosir.

They can sit him for 4-6 weeks or he can figure out how to manage the pain. And honestly, 'manage the pain' isn't gonna be a ton harder for him this week than it will in 2 weeks.
