Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert will start against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday afternoon. Though reports have indicated this was the most likely outcome, Herbert is officially a go despite suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 2’s win over the Carolina Panthers. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport noted Herbert will get the nod after a successful pre-game warmup, the last hurdle to clear before being declared the starter.
However, as Rapoport notes, the team is likely to have three quarterbacks active today in case Herbert can’t finish. That means Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke are expected to dress.
