Chargers' Struggles Deepen with Quarterback Justin Herbert's Injury

Easton Stick Likely to Start as Chargers Face Raiders Amid Offensive Challenges

Justin Herbert, the Los Angeles Chargers' quarterback, fractured his index finger on his throwing hand during a game against the Denver Broncos, raising concerns about the team's offense which was already struggling.
The Chargers have scored only three touchdowns in the last 14 quarters, and currently hold a 5-8 record, tied for the third-worst in the conference.
Backup quarterback Easton Stick is likely to make his first NFL start in the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Chargers' offense has been hampered by several factors, including the loss of center Corey Linsley due to a heart issue, a non-existent running game, and depth problems in the receiving position due to injuries.
Despite the challenges, Easton Stick showed promise in the game against the Broncos, completing 13 of 24 passes for 179 yards.
