Chargers' Justin Herbert active despite high ankle sprain

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is active for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers despite sustaining a high right ankle sprain last Sunday.

The Chargers have all three quarterbacks ( Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke the others) active for the game.

Herbert was listed as questionable for the game, which is a matchup of 2-0 teams.

Herbert's injury happened in the third quarter of the Chargers' Week 2 victory over the Carolina Panthers . Herbert tried to escape the pocket but was pulled from behind by linebacker DJ Johnson and hit face-first by defensive end Jayden Peevy simultaneously, causing his lower body to get trapped under Johnson.

This is the second injury Herbert has dealt with this season. During training camp, he spent two weeks in a walking boot while dealing with a plantar fascia injury to his right foot. Herbert said he would have to monitor that injury throughout the season.
