Quarterback Justin Herbert was unable to keep pace with the red-hot Bucs offense as the fifth-year passer <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-justin-herbert-reacts-pass-without-interception-streak-ending-357">threw his first interception in 357 attempts</a>, ending the fifth-longest such streak in NFL history. Now 8-6 and fighting for their playoff lives, the Chargers are also dealing with several significant injuries.</p><p>LA <a href="https://x.com/chargers/status/1868763071709430214" rel="noopener">posted an estimated</a> injury report on Monday via the team’s official account on X. Herbert is the headliner, being listed as limited with an ankle injury. The Chargers’ top deep threat receiver Quentin Johnston is also dealing with an ankle ailment and the team listed him as DNP (did not participate).</p><p>Also included in LA’s injury list were tight end Will Dissly, who got a DNP due to a shoulder and linebacker Denzel Perryman, who was limited with a groin injury.</p><p>While having your franchise quarterback land on the injury report is never ideal, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-justin-herbert-lands-injury-report-before-buccaneers-clash">Herbert was already banged up</a> heading into the Buccaneers game, kicking off preparations for Week 15 with a leg contusion and ankle injury. However, he was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-justin-herbert-returns-to-practice-amid-ankle-injury">able to return to practice</a> and ultimately played against Tampa Bay.</p><p>Unfortunately, the veteran QB clearly isn’t over the ailment, which is not ideal for the Chargers as they prepare to take on the Denver Broncos in an important divisional clash on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. The short week adds significance to the team’s Monday injury report as players only have two more opportunities to avoid a designation heading into Thursday’s game.</p><h2><b>Chargers’ QB Justin Herbert continues to be hampered by an ankle injury</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Justin-Herbert_ee08fa.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>On Sunday, the Chargers ran into a buzzsaw as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-baker-mayfield-warning-opponents-40-chargers">Buccaneers are clearly feeling themselves</a> at the moment. Baker Mayfield threw for 288 yards and four touchdowns against Los Angeles, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-baker-mayfield-new-career-high-with-td-explosion-vs-chargers">setting a new career-high touchdown mark</a> with 32 after just 14 games.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Broncos are coming off a 31-13 beating of the Indianapolis Colts. Although the game appeared to be a defensive battle for three quarters, Denver and rookie quarterback Bo Nix woke up and dropped 21 points on Indy in the fourth quarter. That win pushed the Broncos past the Chargers in the AFC West.</p><p>Los Angeles won the first matchup between the division rivals in Week 6. So a victory on Thursday night would move the Chargers back into second place in the division and greatly improve their postseason odds. But first, the team needs to get healthy.</p><p>Herbert’s value to LA is obvious. But Johnston and Dissly are the Chargers’ third and fourth leading receivers on the season respectively. The team’s top wideout Ladd McConkey overcame knee and shoulder injuries to play in Week 15. The rookie WR grabbed five receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown. The Chargers would certainly benefit from a healthy-ish Herbert with a full complement of pass catchers going up against Denver’s defense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Everything is looking up for the Chargers right now.</p><p>Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston did an interview on NFL Network’s The Insiders on Wednesday. Johnston <a href="https://x.com/nflnetwork/status/1856860454406295624" rel="noopener">shared some interesting stories about his head coach</a> Jim Harbaugh.</p><p>“The first thing that comes to mind is he’s high energy, the guy he’s been since day one” Johnston said when asked how he’d describe Harbaugh. “All the way up until now. He’s always doing the workouts with us, he’s always giving us little hype speeches and stuff.”</p><p>Johnston also shared a hilarious story about Harbaugh getting into the cold tub while wearing his full coaching attire.</p><p>“He does everything from working out with us to… getting in the cold tub with his shoes, khakis, and everything on,” Johnston continued. “Get in the cold tub after the workout. It’s just a lot of funny spontaneous stuff with him.”</p><p>“You never know what you’re gonna get,” Johnston concluded.</p><p>Whatever Harbaugh’s got going on is definitely working for the Chargers. Los Angeles is having one of their better seasons in recent memory, which is impressive for a first-year head coach.</p><p>It is also impressive considering how much work there is left to be done rebuilding the roster. But it helps to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-jim-harbaugh-doubles-down-justin-herbert-praise">have a franchise QB like Justin Herbert</a> to build around.</p><h2><b>Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh gives Justin Herbert a new nickname</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Justin-Herbert.jpg"><figcaption>Robert Hanashiro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Jim Harbaugh has become one of Justin Herbert’s most vocal supporters.</p><p>This should be no surprise. Harbaugh knows that Herbert is one of the better QBs in the NFL and has some serious untapped potential. He was lucky to enter a coaching situation with an entrenched franchise QB.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-jim-harbaugh-justin-herbert-new-nickname">Harbaugh recently gave Herbert a new nickname</a> after another huge win.</p><p>“I’m changing his name to ‘Beast.’ Beast Herbert,” coach Jim Harbaugh said postgame, via the team’s website. “Half man, half beast.”</p><p>Herbert played well in Week 10 against the Titans. He went 14-of-18 for 164 passing yards and a touchdown. Those numbers aren’t exactly eye-popping, but it was his seventh consecutive game without an interception. That is the longest active streak in the NFL and a single-season record in Chargers franchise history.</p><p>The future is bright for the Harbaugh+Herbert Chargers.</p><p>Next up for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-vs-chargers-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-11-2024">Chargers is a Week 11 matchup against the Bengals</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The second-year player has not taken the field since the team’s Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos.</p><p>After missing the last two games, Johnston is <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1852420377034522652" rel="noopener">not on the team’s Week 9 injury report</a>, per Tom Pelissero. With Johnston’s injury issues seemingly a non-factor, all of Los Angeles’ starters on offense are back to full health.</p><p>Following a letdown rookie outing, Johnston has rebounded with a respectable second-year effort through five games. He has been Justin Herbert’s leading receiver in two separate games on the year, a feat he was only able to manage once in 2023. While he has yet to top 51 receiving yards in a single game in 2024, his season is currently highlighted by a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-quentin-johnstons-haters-dont-know-to-act-after-big-touchdown-vs-panthers">two-touchdown showing against the Carolina Panthers</a> in Week 2.</p><p>Through eight weeks, Johnston is fourth on the team with 164 receiving yards. However, his three touchdowns are third on the team despite missing two games. Only J.K.

Winston’s 334-yard game lifted Cleveland to a shocking upset of the Baltimore Ravens, giving them significant momentum despite being just 2-6 on the year.</p><p>With a 2-1 record since their Week 5 bye, the Chargers have improved to 4-3 on the year, good enough for third in the loaded AFC West. A win would put them on even ground with the Denver Broncos, who are a half-game game ahead of them at 5-3. The Broncos face a tall task in Week 9 against the Ravens.</p><p>The AFC West is led by the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, whom Los Angeles has a lot of ground to cover if they wish to catch. However, even with the Chiefs on track to take the division, the Chargers are always in Wild Card contention and could still secure a playoff spot with a strong finish.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

McConkey is battling a hip issue while Johnston has an ankle injury that prevented him from playing in Week 7 against Arizona.</p><p>The Chargers are trying to develop a tough, physical presence under Harbaugh’s leadership. However, the former Michigan coach knows that a team’s big-play ability is largely the result of the passing game. If McConkey and Johnston can’t play in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints — or are limited on the field — the Chargers will have a difficult time moving the ball consistently and getting into the end zone.</p><p>Herbert was able to complete 27 of 39 passes for 349 yards in the loss to the Cardinals, but he was not able to lead the Chargers into the end zone. Los Angeles had to settle for five field goals in the game as McConkey was limited throughout the game and was held to five receptions for 46 yards.</p><h2><b>Chargers hoping to take advantage of soft schedule</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/If-Ladd-McConkey-is-out-the-Chargers-passing-game-will-struggle-in-Week-8.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Chargers are hoping to contend for a Wild Card playoff spot in the AFC playoffs. If that is going to happen, they will likely have to take advantage of a soft spot in their schedule during the next three weeks. They face the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans in succession.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-derek-carr-eye-opening-injury-update-thursday-night-football">Saints have been hurt by injuries</a> and have fallen to 2-5 after dropping their last five games. The Browns have been devastated by poor quarterback play and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/qb-trade-targets-browns-must-pursue-deshaun-watson-injury">Achilles injury suffered by Deshaun Watson</a> has hurt Cleveland badly.</p><p>The Chargers should also have an opportunity in Week 10 when they host the Tennessee Titans. That team ranks <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/table/passing/sort/netPassingYardsPerGame/dir/desc">32nd in passing yards</a> per game and 31st in total yards.</p><p>If McConkey and Johnston can contribute at a solid level in any of those games, the Chargers should have the offense to control and potentially win all of those games.</p><p>Herbert has completed 107 of 164 passes for 1,164 yards with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception this season. McConkey has caught 24 of 39 targets for 265 yards with 2 TDs and Johnston has 14-164-3.</p><p>If the Chargers can build a lead against the Saints or the games that follow, the running game has the ability to put significant pressure on the defense.

Any blow to that position group is significant.</p><p>Joey Bosa is dealing with a hip injury, and he has not played since the 20-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3 of the season. It appears he could end up missing another game. Quentin Johnston is dealing with an ankle injury. Neither Bosa nor Johnston have practiced at all this week. Hurst hasn’t either with a groin injury.</p><h2><b>Chargers look to build momentum after win vs. Broncos</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-la-designating-key-justin-herbert-weapon-return-ir">The Chargers got back</a> into the win column against the Denver Broncos last week coming out of the bye. Los Angeles started the season 2-0, and then suffered two rough losses to the Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers were dealt many significant injuries during those weeks. Now, they look to stabilize things and get back on the right track.</p><p>The Cardinals are certainly a beatable team, though they should not be overlooked. Kyler Murray has played well this season. Hopefully, he will have Marvin Harrison Jr. in the fold on Monday. Arizona’s defense has struggled, so it will be interesting to see how Los Angeles attacks on offense.</p><p>Moving to 4-2 would be huge with games against the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans and Cincinnati Bengals looming after this matchup. Hopefully, these injuries are not too series long-term.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
