Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is active for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Chargers, though, will be down a wide receiver after Keenan Allen was ruled inactive for the second consecutive week with a hamstring injury.

Herbert did not practice Friday and had been listed as questionable because of fractured rib cartilage.

A No. 6 overall selection by the Chargers out of Oregon in the 2020 draft, Herbert sustained the painful injury during a 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2.

Herbert, 24, has completed 72.0 percent of his passes for 613 yards with six touchdowns and one interception this season.

Allen, 30, sustained his injury in a Week 1 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders when he had four receptions for 66 yards.
