Herbert's Active Status
Despite fears that a high ankle sprain would sideline him, Justin Herbert actively participated in warmups, showcasing mobility and preparing to lead the Chargers against the Steelers.
Injury Background
Herbert sustained the ankle injury during the Chargers' Week 2 triumph against the Carolina Panthers, which raised concerns about his availability for the upcoming game.
Team Adjustments
The Chargers have decided to have three quarterbacks active for the game including Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke as backups for Herbert, while they will be without injured wide receiver Joshua Palmer.
Previous Injuries
