Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh pushed back against suggestions that quarterback Justin Herbert is struggling, telling reporters after a November 5 training session at The Bolt facility in El Segundo that he sees no issue with his franchise passer.
The 2026 season has brought heightened scrutiny on Herbert following the team's uneven start, but Harbaugh, in his first year with the organization, maintained his confidence in the former Oregon star. The coach's comments came during a standard media availability following practice, where he characterized Herbert's recent performances as consistent with the high standard the quarterback has set since entering the league.
Herbert, who signed a five-year, $262.5 million extension in 2023, has been the centerpiece of the Chargers' offense since his 2020 debut. Harbaugh's public backing signals organizational stability at the sport's most critical position as Los Angeles navigates a pivotal stretch of its schedule.
