The thigh injury occurred after he was hit by Kansas City safety Nick Bolton that left him on the turf for a few moments. Herbert missed one play before returning. He wore a sleeve on the leg on Wednesday. Herbert also revealed that he is also experiencing some swelling in his in left knee.

Herbert sprained his left ankle and suffered a thigh contusion, which meant he “didn’t feel great running out the pocket” against the Chargers’ divisional foe. On Wednesday Herbert said he “didn’t think I was able” to take full-speed reps in practice, so he sat out in hopes that the rest will help him get back to that point.
