Justin Herbert Returns to Chargers Practice

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert returned to practice on Monday after missing two weeks due to a plantar fascia injury in his right foot. Coach Jim Harbaugh expressed his delight at Herbert's return, stating he looked 'great with a capital G' during drills, showcasing pinpoint accuracy without any limitations. Although he participated in 7-on-7 drills, Herbert did not engage in full-team situations, but his performance alleviated concerns about potential chemistry issues following his absence. The Chargers are preparing for their season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders on September 8, and Herbert appears poised to start. Meanwhile, backup quarterback Easton Stick's performance has raised questions, leading to the recent waiver of Max Duggan as the team assesses its quarterback depth. The Chargers aim to solidify their roster ahead of the new season as they navigate Herbert's recovery and Stick's struggles.
