Chargers-Steelers Line Remains at Pittsburgh -2.5 Despite Justin Herbert High Ankle Sprain

Justin Herbert's passing yards total Over/Under featured a number of 172.5 despite dealing with a high ankle sprain for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. 

The line also remained at +2.5 Chargers at all bookmaker solutions as well as all the U.S. regulated sportsbooks. 

Herbert went through warmups Sunday, throwing to receivers and jogged without a limp before the Chargers made the decision to make their franchise quarterback active.

The Chargers will have three quarterbacks active on Sunday; Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke will back up Herbert.

Herbert suffered the ankle injury that had put his status for Sunday's game in question in the third quarter of the Chargers' Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers.

This is the second injury Herbert has dealt with this season. During training camp, he spent two weeks in a walking boot while dealing with a plantar fascia injury to his right foot. Herbert said Friday that he has recovered from that injury.

Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is the third-year pro who has been a playmaker during Pittsburgh’s first two games. Pickens’ numbers last week (two catches for 29 yards) are deceiving. He had a 51-yard gain wiped out becuase of a holding penalty, a 6-yard TD pass called back because of offensive pass interference on Van Jefferson and drew a 37-yard defensive pass interference call against Denver star CB Patrick Surtain II.

Sagarin has the number at Steelers 4.05 and our model indicates the underlay we are seeing (-2.5) bodes quite well for Pittsburgh.
