The Los Angeles Chargers officially listed quarterback Justin Herbert as questionable for Sunday’s Week 3 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but NFL Media reports there’s optimism he plays with the high-ankle sprain suffered last week. 

Herbert was a limited participant during Thursday’s practice after missing Wednesday’s session with what the team listed as an ankle injury. Herbert himself got into more specifics surrounding the injury while speaking to reporters on Friday. 

The 26-year-old noted that he suffered a high-ankle sprain during last Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers. Herbert added that it’s “yet to be decided” whether he’ll play in Week 3 and added that the pain is “not great” 

“Thankfully, it’s only Friday,” Herbert said, via ESPN.

Herbert was present for the final practice of the week on Friday, and reporters on site spotted the quarterback’s right ankle heavily taped up.
