KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a left leg contusion in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert said he didn't expect the injury to affect him moving forward.
Late in the second quarter, Herbert leaped to make a throw downfield and was hit midair by Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton. Bolton's elbow smashed into Herbert's left lower thigh, and Herbert lay on the ground in agony for moments with trainers before eventually limping to the sideline. Herbert missed the Chargers' next play but returned and finished the game without any apparent restrictions.
