Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday to full participation on Friday. There’s still a chance that Herbert’s mobility is limited, but he’s a fine QB1 play against Tampa Bay’s 32nd-ranked QB defense.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's on track to play vs. the Buccaneers this weekend, although it'd be nice to see him get in a full practice on Friday.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) did not practice on Wednesday. He missed just one snap after getting banged up in the second quarter of last week's loss to the Chiefs, so Herbert should be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers. We'll keep you posted on his status over the next few days.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. That removes the team’s leader in targets, catches, and receiving yards, hurting QB Justin Herbert's fantasy outlook. We’re expecting WR Josh Palmer to kick inside for more slot snaps with McConkey out. WRs Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis, and D.J. Chark are candidates to pick up more snaps. TE Will Dissly could also see more targets without McConkey roaming the middle of the field.
