The Los Angeles Chargers have a long list of injuries to deal with as prep begins for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Justin Herbert is the headline item, of course. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh detailed Herbert’s multiple injuries on Wednesday.

Jim Harbaugh has brought toughness to the Los Angeles Chargers. The next thing he needs to do is teach them how to win close games. Sunday night's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs was the Chargers' 10th straight defeat during the regular season by three or fewer points.

Samuel has been on injured reserve since Week 4 and Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has consistently said he doesn’t know if the former second-round pick will return this year.

Postseason success isn't what will define Harbaugh's debut season in L.A., though the Chargers' playoff odds look good.

Harbaugh shrank his interceptions mid-career under Colts head coach Ted Marchibroda, a former NFL quarterback. The aversion to turnovers paid off in their second year together. Intercepted just five times in 15 games, Harbaugh led Indianapolis to the 1995 playoffs and the franchise’s first Super Bowl qualifier in 24 years.

Coach’s brevity underscores the importance of the Chargers hitting the road and looking to end a 6-game skid versus the two-time defending Super Bowl champs
