Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert got some good news Monday about the nagging ankle injury that forced him to exit in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Herbert was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain after x-rays came back negative, NFL Media reported. Herbert will reportedly "continue to be monitored" ahead of the Chargers' Week 4 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Herbert spent two-plus quarters trying to grit his teeth through the pain of the injury on Sunday after being limited in practice last week.
For a while, it worked. He threw a first-half touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston and largely stayed out of trouble in the face of T.J.
