When the Los Angeles Chargers face the Pittsburgh Steelers today, there’s plenty at stake. Both teams enter the week with a 2-0 record. And both teams are dealing with injuries at some key positions. You could argue that the Steelers are missing their starting quarterback but Justin Fields has performed well in the first two weeks with Russell Wilson sidelined by a calf injury. For the Chargers, it’s a different story. Justin Herbert, the Bolts clear starter, is dealing with a high ankle sprain sustained last week against the Carolina Panthers.
While Herbert has not been active in team practice this past week, both he and the team have indicated that he has every intention of playing of Sunday if he can.
