Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert did not participate in Wednesday’s practice ahead of their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That means little at this stage with four more days to go before the game, but it’s not a great sign, at the same time. Despite not missing a snap, Herbert sustained an ankle injury in Sunday’s victory over the Carolina Panthers. Donte Jackson and the Steelers’ defense are preparing for him regardless, because he’s that good.
“He looks like Herbert, man. He looks like a $50 million quarterback”, Jackson said, via the Steelers’ website.
