Chargers QB Justin Herbert told reporters on Friday that heโs dealing with a high-ankle sprain.
According to Herbert, the pain as โnot greatโ and his status for Week 3 is โyet to be decided,โ per Kris Rhim.
High-ankle sprains are typically multi-week injuries, so there is a chance he could sit out this Sundayโs game.
Herbert previously dealt with a plantar fascia injury in his right foot this summer.
Herbert, 26, was taken with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft by the Chargers. He signed a four-year, $26,578,754 rookie contract that included a $16,890,003 signing bonus.
The Chargers picked Herbertโs fifth-year option for the 2024 season before signing him to a five-year, $262.5 million extension.
In 2023, Herbert appeared in 13 games for the Chargers, completing 65.1 percent of his passes for 3,134 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
