The Los Angeles Chargers’ injury report for Tuesday states that Justin Herbert was a limited participant in practice.
Due to a sprain to his left ankle, the quarterback was designated as limited during Monday’s walkthrough.
When the Chargers lost to Kansas City 19–17 in Week 14, Herbert suffered a sprained ankle and a bruise to his leg. The good news is that the team’s injury report from Tuesday did not include a leg contusion injury. But when the Chargers (8-6) meet the Denver Broncos (9-5) on Thursday in a crucial AFC West game with significant playoff implications, the ankle problem might persist and limit his range of motion.
The Broncos are one game ahead of the Chargers in sixth place in the AFC rankings.
Herbert, who had several injuries going into the game, took a lot of hits during the Chargers’ 40-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, including three sacks and ten quarterback hits. Since lead running back J.K. Dobbins suffered an MCL sprain in Week 12, Herbert has been under duress and frequently plays behind a very mediocre offensive line. The running game has also been declining. Herbert is under additional pressure because the Chargers receivers have also had trouble getting separation.
