Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is dealing with an ankle injury sustained during last week's victory over the Carolina Panthers, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite a lack of participation in practice earlier in the week, Herbert returned with a heavily taped ankle, and head coach Jim Harbaugh remains optimistic about his chances of playing. Herbert has led the Chargers to a strong 2-0 start under Harbaugh, though his performance has been hindered by injuries, including a prior plantar fascia issue. The Chargers' defense has excelled, allowing the team to maintain their unbeaten record against weaker opponents. If Herbert is unable to play, Easton Stick would likely take over as the starter, a role he struggled in last season. The game is set for Sunday at 1 PM ET, with both teams looking to maintain their perfect records.
