Justin Herbert dealing with a high ankle sprain

[wazu]

Could be Easton Stick time again. Chargers play the Steelers this week.

Justin Herbert said it’s “yet to be decided” whether he’ll play Sunday. He said the injury is a high right ankle sprain. Also said the pain is “not great.”

I get it, that’s why I said, “might.” They haven’t played anybody, and this weekend they’re still not playing anybody. But they play us in a couple weeks and then we’ll see how much they un****ed themselves I guess.


And I doubt they’re going to get far in the playoffs, if they even make it that far, throwing just 15 times a game.

Just saying they don’t look like a band of monkeys trying to **** a football, the way they did the last few seasons.

And it occurred to me that one way to avoid getting stymied by the 2-high shell is just have a massive OL and a couple good RBs, and just run it 30+ times. At 10 yds a clip no less.


I mean, just how many really good run defenses are there in the league right now anyway? Not very many imo.

The matchup between TJ and Joe Alt will be the one to watch, obviously. Rookie RT Joe Alt (6'8" 322-lbs.) through his first 126 snaps, has committed zero penalties, allowed only a single sack on 54 passing plays, and surrendered just two pressures. So we know he basically stoned Maxx Crosby.

While yeah, protecting your multi million dollar quarterback is essential. But they could have had Nabers.

So.. just as I thought might happen, (and I almost never wish injuries on people).. Steelers re-aggravated the injury and he had to leave the game. Haven't seen it yet, but this is why it didn't make sense to play him today.

He is looking even more iffy for next weekend.

San Diego or LA, Chargers gonna charger. They are wasting him. While as a Chiefs fan I applaud that, I hate to see a player continually have their career put at stake because of a clueless franchise.

[Sassy Squatch]

If either Slater or Alt can't go next weekend I'd bet they sit him.

[St. Patty's Fire]

i watched most of their game today and he was getting absolutely destroyed every time i looked over at that one lmao

Lost Bosa, Slater, and Alt today too.

[PunkinDrublic]

Their previous coach in a lot of ways ruined his career.

[Chieftain]

The pimpled one is 32–33 as a starter in his career.
