Chargers expected to start Justin Herbert vs Steelers

According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Chargers are expected to start Justin Herbert despite a high ankle sprain against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Herbert went out and tested the injured ankle Sunday morning and according to Schefter is going to give it a go.

Herbert had been limited at practice all week and there was a great deal of uncertainty about his status. The Chargers and Steelers are both 2-0 heading into this week’s game and they understand how important this one is.

For Herbert, his mobility will be a serious issue if he can’t move around against the Steelers relentless pass rush led by T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith along with Cam Heyward.
