Justin Herbert is back after an injury scare vs. the Chiefs.

The Chargers quarterback grabbed his left thigh after the hit and remained on the ground as trainers tended to him. He eventually got up and limped off the field alongside trainers, but was replaced by backup Taylor Heinicke for the next play.

The Chargers failed to convert on third-and-20 and punted after one play with Heinicke at quarterback. The Chiefs took over possession after a punt with 3:28 remaining in the game.

The Chargers got the ball back with 47 seconds remaining in the half after a Chiefs touchdown on Kansas City’s ensuing drive with Herbert back in the lineup.

The Chargers failed to score on their last possession of the half and go into halftime with a 13-0 deficit. But their star quarterback appears to be OK after an injury scare.
