Foxglove (Biennial) Leaf Spots?

Hi,
Thanks to anyone who can help me identify this disease on my foxglove. I have two of them in the same container, which I think greatly contributed to the leaf spots I'm seeing. I would like to save them and transplant next Spring into separate containers so they can flower their second year.
Does this look like Anthracnose on foxglove or just a regular leaf spot? And regardless, can I save these plants and how? I've already taken all the bad leaves off. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to save, and if so, what steps I should take. I also have two other foxgloves in separate containers that are doing just fine.
Thanks!!

Does not look like any sort of disease to me.......much more like a typical end-of-season appearance.

FWIW, container grown plants that receive sometimes uneven watering or fertilization can often develop foliar tip burn or browning. NBD.
