Sun Sep 29 23:27:28 UTC 2024: ## Chargers’ Herbert Questionable for Sunday’s Matchup Against Chiefs

**Los Angeles, CA** – The Los Angeles Chargers face a crucial decision ahead of their Sunday matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Justin Herbert, who is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, is listed as questionable for the game.

Herbert, who reaggravated the injury during last week’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, participated in limited practice for the third consecutive day on Friday. Despite the injury, Herbert expressed his desire to play against the Chiefs, stating that “I don’t think that’s the way we’re heading” when asked about sitting out.

However, the Chargers face a multitude of injury concerns beyond Herbert. Starting left tackle Rashawn Slater has been ruled out with a pectoral injury, while rookie right tackle Joe Alt is questionable with a sprained MCL. Defensively, the Chargers will be without key players including edge rusher Joey Bosa (hip) and linebacker Junior Colson (hamstring).

If Herbert cannot play, backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke (29 career starts) is expected to take over. Easton Stick (four starts) is also an option.

The Chargers will need to overcome these injuries to maintain their momentum against the undefeated Chiefs. The game holds significant importance for the Chargers, as it precedes their bye week.
