Justin Herbert Health, Injury Updates & History

Is currently dealing with two injuries he sustained last week, by video we showed a left high ankle eversion on a tackle attempt and a contusion to the thigh on a direct hit, the ankle injury is the opposite ankle from the previous right high ankle sprain which he also played through, the bigger concern is the thigh contusion, but expect Herbert to play this week in W15

Held out of practice on Wednesday in the leadup to W15 while he is dealing with an ankle injury he sustained this past Sunday, as well as a leg contusion to his thigh, there is no concern about him missing time however, he will likely play on Sunday vs Tampa Bay

Sustained two different minor injuries on Sunday, a mild left ankle eversion and then an elbow to the thigh on another play, he might be limited in practice this week or not even practice but he'll likely play in W15

The right high ankle sprain hasn't worsened, but the team may still opt to start Taylor Heinicke in Week 4. Despite Herbert playing through the injury last week, he didn’t finish the game. Chargers have a bye in Week 5, giving Herbert extra time to heal and return fully healthy for the rest of the season.

Aggravated his previous high ankle sprain, left stadium after game in walking boot, had x-rays done, but will likely be negative, he will be monitored throughout the week to see if he can be available next with

Sacked in 3Q with defender landing on right ankle, same ankle that is nursing a high ankle issue, likely dealing with soreness and should return back to the game when Chargers receive ball

Per head coach Jim Harbaugh, the ankle injury Herbert sustained this past Sunday is “feeling much better”, it remains to be seen at this time if he will play this week, Easton Stick will get the start if Herbert is unable to go, but he will continue to be monitored
