Justin Herbert Expected to Play as Eagles Visit Chargers on Monday Night Football

Los Angeles can strengthen its wild-card footing with a win in a primetime matchup of 8-4 teams.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium on ABC and ESPN, with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the broadcast.
  • Herbert is listed as questionable after surgery on his non-throwing left hand, and reports indicate he plans to start with protection on the hand.
  • If Herbert is ruled out, Trey Lance would start for the Chargers, who have limited active quarterback depth.
  • Rookie running back Omarion Hampton has been activated from injured reserve and is expected to be available alongside Kimani Vidal.
  • Los Angeles has struggled to protect its quarterback after losing both starting tackles for the season, adding urgency to play-calling against an Eagles team trying to halt a skid.
