Chargers' Star QB Justin Herbert Out for Season, Easton Stick Steps Up

Stick, a fifth-year player with limited NFL experience, takes the helm after Herbert's season-ending injury.

Justin Herbert, the star quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers, has been placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery on a broken finger, effectively ending his season.
Easton Stick, a fifth-year player with limited on-field experience, will replace Herbert as the starting quarterback for the Chargers.
Stick had a successful college career at North Dakota State, setting a Football Championship Subdivision record with 49 career wins and leading the Bison to national titles in his junior and senior seasons.
Stick made his season debut in the Chargers' recent game against the Denver Broncos, completing 13 of 24 attempts for 179 yards.
Stick's performance in the remaining games of the season could impact the contract he signs as a free agent this offseason.
