Herbert (ankle) had X-ray results on his right ankle come up negative after Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers, in which he aggravated his high-ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports,

Herbert entered Sunday's matchup with Pittsburgh carrying a "questionable" designation and was forced out midway through the third quarter due to an aggravation of his injury. The franchise quarterback was then spotted in a walking boot after the game, but Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports Herbert described himself as "hopeful" to go through a similar process to the one that allowed him to be cleared to face the Steelers, with the Chargers now preparing for a Week 4 matchup against Kansas City. Taylor Heinicke took over for Herbert in Week 3, and Los Angeles also had Easton Stick active as a third quarterback Sunday.
