Chargers’ decision on Justin Herbert’s status to come after pregame warmups

Chargers’ decision on Justin Herbert’s status to come after pregame warmups

The Chargers still don’t know who their starting quarterback will be today against the Steelers.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is preparing to play despite a high ankle sprain, but won’t make a final decision until pregame warmups, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Herbert was injured in last week’s win over the Panthers and didn’t miss a single action, but he wasn’t able to fully participate in practice during the week.

Herbert’s backups are Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke, and it’s possible both could get playing time if Herbert can’t play.

The Steelers are 2.5-point favorites over the Chargers in the 2-0 AFC matchup.
