What happened: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is not expected to miss significant practice time after an injury scare on Tuesday. A source described the wideout as "totally fine" following his early exit from a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.

Why it matters: Johnston came up limping after attempting a contested sideline catch and was evaluated by the training staff for an apparent lower-body issue. His quick clearance provides immediate relief for a Los Angeles offense relying on his continued development.

What to watch: Johnston will likely be available as the Chargers continue their preseason schedule.
