Overview

  • Hampton shed the yellow non‑contact jersey, practiced in full late in the week, and is officially listed as questionable for Monday.
  • Justin Herbert underwent surgery to place a plate and screws in his left hand, practiced on a limited basis, and is listed as questionable.
  • Coaches have worked almost exclusively from shotgun and pistol in practice, and Trey Lance has packages ready for goal‑line or emergency duty.
