Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert missed practice due to injuries sustained in a recent game, leaving fans anxious about his availability for the upcoming match.
He took a hard hit while trying to throw a pass and landed awkwardly, grabbing his left leg. Trainers rushed in, but he only missed one play. They taped up his ankle while he sat on the bench, which is a good sign, right?
Coach Jim Harbaugh mentioned he’d like Herbert to take a day off, but we all know how tough Herbert is. He’s played through some serious injuries before, like that high-ankle sprain earlier this season.
After the game, he seemed optimistic, saying he didn’t think this latest injury would keep him out long. He even led the team to score two touchdowns in the third quarter before the Chiefs snatched the win at the last second.
Fans are definitely hoping to see him back on the field against the Buccaneers this Sunday at SoFi Stadium. It’s going to be a nail-biter for sure!
