Justin Herbert

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Chargers QB Justin Herbert is expected to start in Week 4, barring a pre-game setback.

Herbert continues to play through significant injuries after doing so for much of his career. The ankle issues resurfaced in Week 3 after a hit that aggravated the high ankle sprain suffered a week prior, but the franchise quarterback will gut it out again as the Chargers host the two-time defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs. There is definite risk of further aggravation during the game, but Herbert will try to make it through unscathed considering the opponent.
