3 Chargers Pro Bowl starters injured in loss to Steelers including QB Justin Herbert

Sometimes you just have to feel for an organization. Even from the perspective of a rival. I mean, come on, all teams and fans want their team to win and their rivals to lose. But not because of injuries. And every year it seems like the Chargers get snakebit by injuries.

After being relatively healthy the first couple games this season, including a season opening win over the Raiders, in one game the Chargers saw several key Pro Bowl starters leave the game and not return, with their status for the rest of the season in doubt.

First and foremost, Justin Herbert left the game in the third quarter. He was seen limping badly on the sideline.

The Chargers also lost Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater to injury along with top pick rookie right tackle Joe Alt. And late in the game lost Pro Bowl edge rusher Joey Bosa as well.

It was a 10-10. tie when they were all out of the game. After which the Steelers pulled away to win it 20-10.

Just brutal to see great players go out like this. Especially all in one game.
