Justin Herbert

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports X-rays were negative on Justin Herbert’s ankle.

This is good news for Herbert, who limped off the field in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Steelers and didn’t return to the field. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game that the plan was to pull Herbert if he saw him limping during the game. Herbert was also spotted in a boot after the game, but said he didn’t think he did further damage to his ankle by playing on it. We’ll see where things go from here as the Chargers prepare for a Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs. If Herbert is unable to go, journeyman Taylor Heinicke would likely draw the start after replacing Herbert on Sunday.
