Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was rolled up on a third-and-four play within the third quarter of Los Angeles’ Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers and was briefly checked out within the blue medical tent earlier than returning to the sport. After the sport, Herbert instructed reporters he received X-rays and can know extra about his standing within the coming days.
“I should have simply received rolled up, massive pile, received rolled up. Walked off, was a bit sore, taped it up, went in, received X-rays, so we’ll know extra within the subsequent couple days,” Herbert shelp through the Chargers’ YouTube channel.
With Los Angeles heading to Pittsburgh subsequent week, Herbert’s standing seems to be to be up within the air. He was in a position to end the sport in opposition to the Panthers, but when one thing reveals up within the X-ray, Los Angeles might not threat taking part in him, particularly in opposition to Pittsburgh’s cross rush.
If Herbert can’t go, Los Angeles will probably go together with Easton Stick at quarterback. Stick began 4 video games for Los Angeles final season with Herbert sidelined with an damage, and he threw for 1,129 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. If Herbert can’t go, it could be a giant loss for the Chargers, who are actually 2-0 after a blowout 26-3 win over Carolina right this moment.
This season Herbert has accomplished 67.4% of his passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in wins over the Raiders and Panthers. Los Angeles has been run-heavy in its first season below Jim Harbaugh, and the Steelers are very acquainted with Los Angeles’ prime two operating backs in former Ravens J.Okay. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. If Herbert isn’t in a position to play in opposition to Pittsburgh, the Chargers will probably lean on their run sport much more.
