Justin Herbert is back after an injury scare vs. the Chiefs.
The Chargers quarterback grabbed his left thigh after a hit by Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton and remained on the ground as trainers tended to him. He eventually got up and limped off the field alongside trainers, but was replaced by backup Taylor Heinicke for the next play.
The Chargers failed to convert on third-and-20 and punted after one play with Heinicke at quarterback. The Chiefs took over possession after a punt with 3:28 remaining in the half.
The Chargers then got the ball back with 47 seconds remaining in the half after a Chiefs touchdown on Kansas City’s ensuing drive. Herbert was back in the lineup.
The Chargers failed to score on their last possession of the half and went into halftime with a 13-0 deficit. But their star quarterback appears to be OK.
