Overview
- Justin Herbert missed voluntary Chargers offseason workouts while traveling in Europe to support pop star Madison Beer, a move confirmed by multiple team and media reports.
- Head coach Jim Harbaugh said he was happy Herbert went to support Beer and praised Herbert’s consistent attendance and toughness, citing past examples of the quarterback practicing after injury.
- Herbert returned to team practice on Wednesday and participated in passing drills with coaches and backup quarterbacks, with the Chargers posting photos of his return on social media.
- The team emphasized that OTAs are voluntary, so Herbert faced no disciplinary action, and Harbaugh’s public support aims to calm fan concerns about team commitment.
- Harbaugh’s remarks follow a pattern of high praise for Herbert and are likely to shape the public story around the QB’s high-profile relationship as the Chargers move into summer preparations.
