Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston left the preseason game against the host Los Angeles Rams on a medical cart after taking a big hit on the third play from scrimmage on Saturday in Inglewood, Calif.
Johnston was injured on an incomplete deep sideline pass from quarterback Justin Herbert when Rams safety Tanner Ingle hit him. Johnston lay on his back with his arms outstretched and was motionless for several moments at SoFi Stadium. Trainers, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh and wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal checked on him.
While players from both teams knelt and medical personnel tended to him, Johnston eventually moved his arms and legs, then sat up and walked to the cart that took him off the field.
Johnston, who turns 24 on Sept. 6, caught 55 passes on 91 targets last season for 711 yards and a team-high eight touchdowns in 15 regular season games (11 starts). He has 93 career receptions for 1,142 yards and 10 TDs in 32 regular season games (21 starts).
The Chargers selected Johnston with the 21st overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of TCU.
