Chargers' Justin Herbert Progresses After Ankle Injury

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is showing signs of recovery from a high ankle sprain, as he is now out of a walking boot and may participate in practice, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. Herbert suffered the injury during the Week 2 game against the Carolina Panthers and aggravated it in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, leading to his removal from the game. An MRI conducted on Monday indicated that Herbert's condition is 'progressing', though his status for the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs remains uncertain. The Chargers are also dealing with injuries to key players, including offensive tackle Rashawn Slater and edge rusher Joey Bosa, who are not expected to practice. Harbaugh emphasized that he does not regret playing Herbert despite the risk, highlighting the quarterback's resilience. As the team prepares for a crucial matchup, they will closely monitor Herbert's progress leading into the weekend.
