Justin Herbert Limited in Practice After Left-Hand X-Rays Mostly Clean

The Chargers expect him to face the Chiefs in Kansas City if he has no setbacks this week.

Overview

  • Herbert, who fractured his non-throwing left hand in late November and had surgery a week before the Eagles game, reported reduced swelling and improved grip strength.
  • He was listed as a limited participant Wednesday and said the precautionary postgame X-rays were "clean for the most part."
  • In Monday's overtime win vs. Philadelphia, he completed 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a lost fumble, was sacked seven times, and led the team with 66 rushing yards.
  • Jim Harbaugh lauded Herbert's performance, calling it "the most competitive thing I've ever seen from a quarterback."
  • Right tackle Trey Pipkins III and receiver Derius Davis (ankles) and safety Elijah Molden (hamstring) did not practice, as Los Angeles prepares for a road game where a win would complete a season sweep of the 6-7 Chiefs and strengthen playoff positioning.
