Herbert Reinjures Ankle in Steelers Game

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who has been dealing with a high ankle sprain, left Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third quarter after reaggravating his injury. Herbert had been a game-time decision and was questionable to play, but ultimately took the field before being forced out by a key sack. Taylor Heinicke, acquired from the Falcons in August, replaced Herbert and completed an 18-yard pass on his first throw. Despite Herbert's injury, the Chargers, under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, have relied heavily on their running game this season. Herbert's status for future games remains uncertain, and the Chargers have contingency plans involving both Heinicke and Easton Stick.
