Chargers | Justin Herbert expected to play Wed Sep 18, 12:10 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is dealing with an unspecified ankle injury but is expected to play, head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Wednesday, Sept. 18. 'Crystal ball? I expect him to [play] -- he's getting better every day,' Harbaugh said. 'Last night, we had a meeting with him and he's feeling much better and good today.'
| Footballguys view: The X-rays were negative on Herbert's foot/ankle, so he should be good to go. It's going to be a tough and physical game on Sunday against the Steelers. The Harbaugh strategy is to lead with the rushing attack. That means lots of JK Dobbins (with a dash of Gus Edwards) and less from Herbert and the passing game. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert's X-Rays Negative; More Testing To Come Mon Sep 16, 01:43 PM
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was able to finish Sunday's win over the Panthers despite his leg getting, as he termed it, "rolled up." But Herbert did admit his leg "was a little sore" and that he underwent an X-ray. Via Daniel Popper of TheAthletic.com, head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Herbert's X-rays were negative -- which is good news.
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh also was asked if Herbert had undergone an MRI and said, "I'm sure there'll be further evaluations as the week goes on." After briefly heading to the sideline medical tent, Herbert did not miss a snap. He finished the game 14-of-20 passing for 130 yards with two touchdowns, an interception, and a lost fumble. We'll have more on Herbert when the Chargers begin prepping for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert goes for X-rays Sun Sep 15, 08:02 PM
Los Angeles Charges QB Justin Herbert (foot) went for X-rays after the Week 2 game against the Carolina Panthers. He said Sunday, Sept. 15, that he 'got rolled up' on in the second half.
| Footballguys view: Herbert also told reporters he would know more about the severity of the injury "in the coming days." The injury happened in the third quarter when Herbert tried to escape the pocket but was caught between two defenders. Herbert lay on the field and walked off gingerly before entering a medical tent on the sideline, where he said trainers applied medical tape to the injury. He didn't miss a snap and didn't specify where the injury was on his lower body, but said he had an MRI postgame. According to ESPN.com's Kris Rhim, Herbert walked with a significant limp at his press conference. He finished the game with 130 passing yards -- the second-lowest total of his career -- two touchdowns, and an interception. We'll be monitoring his status in the coming days. |

Chargers | Two TDs for Quentin Johnston Sun Sep 15, 04:15 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston caught five passes for 51 yards and two touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Johnston roasted Jaycee Horn for a long touchdown and got free for a short score to have by far the best game of his young career. This will help his confidence and could vault him to the top of the wide receiver group. He's worth a pickup in most leagues even with the Chargers a severely run heavy offense. |

Chargers | Another outstanding game for J.K. Dobbins Sun Sep 15, 04:08 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins rushed for 131 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Dobbins is still technically in a timeshare with Gus Edwards, and Edwards is probably better suited for short yardage carries at the goal line, but Dobbins housed it from 44 yards and is at least a flex against a stout Steelers defense next week. |

Los Angeles Chargers S Alohi Gilman (knee) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 2 versus the Carolina Panthers.

| Footballguys view: Quentin Johnston could have a bigger role this week with Palmer ailing. He could play, but shouldn't be in lineups even if he is active in this run first offense. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins rushed 10 times for 135 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for four yards in a 22-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: When asked this week how he'd split the carries between Gus Edwards and Dobbins, offensive coordinator Greg Roman pledged to ride "the hot hand." Edwards might have gotten the start, but on Sunday, the hotter hand was Dobbins, who had runs of 46 yards -- his longest run since his rookie year of 2020 -- and 61 yards to put him over the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time since Week 15 of the 2022 season. According to NFL.com's Eric Edholm, those explosive runs showed that Dobbins is healthy again -- with some spring in his step. Edwards still has value as a goal-line back, but Dobbins has established himself as the more dangerous threat. |

Chargers | LAC to use hot hand at running back Fri Sep 6, 02:47 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards and RB J.K. Dobbins will both receive playing time this season, and the team will go with whoever has the hot hand during games, according to offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
| Footballguys view: And both should get ample opportunity to become hot against a Raiders offense that probably isn't going to run away and hide from anyone with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. Both are just what the heck flexes this week, but either could give us and Jim Harbaugh more confidence for next week's matchup at Carolina. |

Chargers | Joshua Palmer the go-to guy? Sun Sep 1, 09:22 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer 'will lead the team in targets' this season, in the opinion of Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Second round pick Ladd McConkey was generating buzz before missing time in camp with an injury, but he's still being drafted well ahead of Palmer. Palmer could be a great value if he's up to being the team's #1 outside receiver. Palmer posted 3-77 and 4-113-1 lines against Week 1 opponent Las Vegas last year, but the bigger stat line came in a 63-21 loss. |
