Chargers Announce Inactive Players for Week 3 Against Steelers

On September 22, 2024, the Los Angeles Chargers announced their list of inactive players for the upcoming Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite concerns over a high ankle sprain, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will be active for Sunday’s match.

Herbert’s participation had been under scrutiny after he sustained the injury in the third quarter during last week’s game against Carolina. He did not participate in practice on Wednesday and Friday and was limited on Thursday, leading to questions about his availability. However, during pre-game warmups, Herbert was seen throwing and jogging without a noticeable limp, reassuring fans and teammates of his readiness to play.

Nevertheless, the Chargers will be missing several vital players. Wide receiver Joshua Palmer is sidelined due to knee and elbow injuries. He is joined on the inactive list by linebacker Junior Colson, who is out with a hamstring injury. Offensive lineman Jordan McFadden is also unavailable for this matchup. Additionally, Chargers rookies Kimani Vidal, Tarheeb Still, and Justin Eboigbe are inactive for their second consecutive week.

The list of Chargers’ inactives for the game includes wide receiver Joshua Palmer, linebacker Junior Colson, cornerback Tarheeb Still, running back Kimani Vidal, offensive lineman Jordan McFadden, and defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have also released their list of inactive players. The list includes quarterback Russell Wilson, who will serve as an emergency third quarterback, wide receiver Roman Wilson, cornerback Darius Rush, free safety Terrell Edmunds, offensive guard Isaac Seumalo, and tight end MyCole Pruitt.
