Johnston took a hard hit from Rams safety Tanner Ingle during the game’s opening series while running a deep route down the Rams’ sideline for a pass from Justin Herbert.
Johnston landed flat on his back with both arms outstretched, staying motionless for several moments. The Rams’ medical staff rushed to him first and immediately signaled for help.
“Quentin suffered a concussion, and that’s never a good thing,” Harbaugh said. “But the way it looked there at the time, looked like it could have a been a lot worse. And he was taken (to a hospital) for more evaluation, but he was talking. He remembered the play. He was moving good. So in that way, it’s a good thing.”
Players from both teams knelt while medical personnel tended to Johnston, the Chargers’ first-round pick out of TCU in 2023. Johnston eventually moved his arms and legs and sat up before standing under his own power and walking to the cart that took him off the field.
Johnston had 55 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season. He is expected to start for the Chargers this season.
