LA gets a big boost ahead of Week 11 against the Jaguars
The Los Angeles Chargers went 14 players deep into his NFL injury report on Wednesday. Quentin Johnston looked in danger of missing the Jacksonville Jaguars contest on Sunday.
But the Bolts and the head coach Jim Harbaugh on Friday witnessed a huge increase. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport later found out what that boost was on Saturday night.
“VR Quentin Johnston, who has been dealing with a calf injury, was a full participant on Friday. A sign that he is expected to leave on Sunday,” Rapoport posted on social media website X, formerly Twitter.
Johnston managed to secure Justin Herbert big target on Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He worked through his lower-body ailment and caught five passes for 42 yards – leading LA in receptions that night.
Has Quentin Johnston of the Chargers shed the ‘doom’ tag?
Johnston appeared headed for an early NFL exit after a rough rookie campaign.
That was during the Brandon Staley era in 2023. Still, Johnston struggled to find any footing on offense — settling for a modest 38 receptions for a first-round pick. Even worse, the city of LA watched Puka Nakua go from the fifth round to a 100-catch for the Rams.
Johnston has since flourished under Harbaugh. He improved his reception total to 55 while also racking up 711 yards and eight touchdowns. The now-former TCU star caught 37 passes through 10 games; accompanied by 502 yards and six touchdowns. Johnston even battled through an early season hamstring injury as well as to compile those numbers for 2025.
The towering 6-foot-5 VR looks set to land in Jacksonville. however, The Chargers appear to have Trevor Penning ready to step for a left move.
