Chargers Players Rescued from Malfunctioning Elevator

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has been praised by head coach Jim Harbaugh for his leadership during a harrowing elevator incident at the team hotel in Dallas. Herbert, along with around a dozen players and Jeri Fouts, wife of Hall of Famer Dan Fouts, was trapped in a malfunctioning elevator for two hours. Dallas Fire-Rescue teams facilitated the rescue by lifting the occupants through ceiling panels into an adjacent elevator. Harbaugh commended Herbert for keeping calm and maintaining leadership, noting that while others were drenched in sweat, Herbert's shirt remained dry. The incident occurred the night before the Chargers' preseason victory against the Cowboys, which they won 26-19. Harbaugh also invited the rescuing fire personnel to join the team for a meal as a token of appreciation.
