Herbert's X-Rays Negative, Status for Sunday Uncertain

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is dealing with a right ankle injury sustained during Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. Despite the injury, Herbert did not miss any snaps in the game but was seen limping afterward. X-rays on his ankle were negative, and head coach Jim Harbaugh remains optimistic about Herbert's recovery, noting that he is 'feeling much better.' Herbert was present at Thursday's practice but did not participate in drills, and his status for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers remains uncertain. If Herbert cannot play, backup Easton Stick is expected to start. This is Herbert's second injury this season, following a plantar fascia issue in training camp.
