Justin Herbert's high ankle sprain has significantly impacted the Los Angeles Chargers' performance in the 2023 season under Jim Harbaugh. Initially injured in Week 2, Herbert struggled to regain full health until late October, coinciding with a three-game winning streak for the team.

Despite the severity of his injury, which was described as Herbert playing at only '20 percent', his determination to compete has been praised by teammates. The Chargers' new offensive strategies have been limited by his condition, but as the team grows healthier, upcoming games against Cincinnati and Baltimore will be crucial in assessing their playoff potential.
