X-rays on Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert, leg, negative

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Los Angeles Chargers coach Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that results from X-rays on quarterback Justin Herbert's lower right leg injury were negative.

Harbaugh didn't specify what Herbert's injury was and said that they would know more Wednesday when the team releases an injury report.

The injury happened in the third quarter of Sunday's 26-3 win over the Carolina Panthers. Herbert tried to escape the pocket but was pulled from behind by linebacker DJ Johnson and hit face-first by defensive end Jayden Peevy simultaneously, causing his lower body to get trapped under Johnson.

Herbert walked off the field and went into a medical tent with trainers, but he didn't miss a snap. After his postgame news conference, Herbert walked with a significant limp.

The Chargers are staying in Charlotte ahead of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. L.A. will practice at UNC Charlotte.
