The Los Angeles Chargers have been through an injury nightmare this season.

The Chargers got a scare Sunday night against the Steelers when edge rusher Nick Herbig sacked Justin Herbert using an illegal hip drop tackle and landed directly on his legs.

Herbig was not flagged for the tackle and Herbert did not miss a snap but needed his ankles taped. Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh gave an update when asked on Monday regarding Herbert's injury and he simply said, "He's still a beast."

The Chargers had another injury scare when ascending rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II left the game with an apparent knee injury that was later revelead to be a quad bruise.

Jim Harbaugh announced Herbert will practice today during his Wednesday media session. Additionally, tight end Oronde Gadsden II, cornerback Tarheeb Still, offensive tackle Bobby Hart will all practice today.
