Herbert, Tuipulotu & Dicker Among 5 Chargers Named to 2026 Pro Bowl Games

The Chargers quarterback is a Pro Bowler once again.

Herbert was named to his first All-Star event since the 2021 season as he has continued to hold his spot as one of the top quarterbacks in the league.

The sixth-year quarterback has guided the Chargers to an 11-4 record and on the brink of a playoff berth by ranking eighth in the NFL in passing yards 3,491. He is also tied for fifth in passing touchdowns (25).

He’s also taken his running to another level this season with a career-high 461 yards, a figure that ranks second among all quarterbacks in the NFL.

“It’s a huge honor,” Herbert said about getting selected. “I’m definitely honored by the Pro Bowl and I think it’s such a cool accomplishment, but it wouldn’t have been done without the guys on this team.

“The receivers, all the guys that have made plays, the offensive line that battles every day for us and running backs, tight ends,” Herbert added, “our defense giving us the ball back and giving us those opportunities and all the coaches that have put us in a position where we’re able to succeed.”

He’s achieved the honor while dealing with some adversity.

The Chargers offense have had to navigate plenty of injuries along the offensive line, with Herbert also playing through a broken left hand in recent weeks.

“Very excited for him, deservedly so,” Chargers Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman said. “With how he’s approached everything this year, I can’t speak highly enough of him with how he goes about his business every single day, the kind of leadership he provides for his teammates, for all of us, really.

“He’s spot on every day, a true pro’s pro,” Roman added. “Trying to get better at everything he does … you can’t ask for anything more.”

Even still, the Bolts franchise quarterback has battled through it and has helped lead the team close to postseason football.

“Knowing a guy like Justin Herbert will go out there seven days after surgery and play,” Khalil Mack said about Herbert. “It’s like, ‘Who else in the league is doing that?'”

Cam Hart added: “He’s a dog. A beast. The best I’ve ever seen.”
