**Los Angeles, CA** – Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed that X-rays on quarterback Justin Herbert’s injured ankle were negative, but the team will proceed with an MRI. Herbert aggravated his high ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Steelers, missing the final 10 snaps of the game.
Harbaugh provided no further details on the severity of the injury, stating that Tuesday will be a day of evaluation and treatment. “We’ll be able to give more specific updates by Wednesday,” he said.
Herbert completed 12 of 18 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown before being replaced by Taylor Heinicke. The Chargers face their AFC West rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, this Sunday, making Herbert’s status for the game a major concern.
The team’s official announcement on Herbert’s injury and potential timeline for recovery is expected by Wednesday.
