Chargers List Justin Herbert Day-to-Day After Surgery on Non-Throwing Hand

Los Angeles will reassess this week for Monday night against Philadelphia, with Trey Lance preparing for possible duty.

Overview

  • The team said Herbert underwent a Monday procedure to stabilize a fracture in his left hand and is considered day-to-day.
  • His availability for the Dec. 8 home game against the Eagles will be determined after in-week medical evaluations.
  • Herbert was injured in the first quarter on a tackle by Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn, returned in a protective glove, and finished 15-of-20 for 151 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
  • Coach Jim Harbaugh noted the Chargers avoided under-center snaps after the injury and said Trey Lance will take added practice reps for goal-line and short-yardage scenarios.
  • NFL Media reported the injury as a metacarpal fracture, and the Chargers face a demanding five-game run as they hold an AFC wild-card position.
