THE APEX TIMES
Jim Harbaugh says Justin Herbert’s finger X-rays were negative, provides updates on Ladd McConkey and multiple ankle injuries, and emphasizes a “hell-bent on winning” approach as the Chargers enter their second-half schedule.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh addressed the team’s outlook for the second half of the season Monday, tying the Week 10 road trip to the Baltimore Ravens to a message about continuing to compete through adversity after an 0-8 start.
On quarterback Justin Herbert, Harbaugh said imaging on Herbert’s finger came back negative, and he expects the team’s starter to be “good to go” moving forward. Harbaugh also described the decision to remove Herbert from the Houston game early in the fourth after the injury and noted that Herbert wanted to return.
Harbaugh also gave an update on receiver Ladd McConkey, saying McConkey was active against the Texans but did not play because of back spasms he felt during warmups. Harbaugh said McConkey kept trying throughout the game to get back but could not.
In addition to Herbert and McConkey, Harbaugh said three Chargers players suffered ankle injuries during the Houston game: Justin Eboigbe, Cam Hart, and Isas Waxter. He said the team will evaluate severity as the week progresses.
With the NFL’s trade deadline arriving Tuesday at 1 p.m., Harbaugh said he and general manager Joe Hortiz have remained focused on preparing for the next opponent while also expressing confidence in Hortiz’s willingness to pursue moves that make sense for the roster.
