The Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> improved to 7-3 with a 25-10 blowout victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> on Sunday night, but received some troubling news in the process.<\/p>\n

Star quarterback Justin Herbert appeared to pick up an ankle injury and was seen limping after the game. Head coach Jim Harbaugh provided a humorous injury update for his quarterback on Monday morning, though, that hinted the injury might not be too bad. “I do have an update on his physical status: He is still a beast,” Harbaugh said. <\/p>\n

Herbert wasn’t too worried either. <\/p>\n

“I just got rolled up. A little bit of pain but I thought we did a good job of talking about it on the sideline,” he said. “I came off and felt like I was safe and comfortable to go back out there.”<\/p>\n

While Herbert wasn’t worried about the ankle injury, the NFL certainly was. After watching a star quarterback pick up an ankle injury on a hip drop tackle from Steelers pass-rusher Nick Herbig, the league responded with a $6,656 fine for the third-year pro.<\/p>\n

“To protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures,” the league says of its punishment announcements every week.<\/p>\n

Herbig was one of 24 players hit with a fine for their on-field conduct.<\/p>\n
