Overview

  • Herbert was a limited participant Thursday and was seen throwing while wearing a protective cast or brace on his left hand.
  • Coach Jim Harbaugh and coordinator Greg Roman expressed optimism he will start against Philadelphia, with the team preparing as if he will play.
  • Trey Lance is taking first-team reps and could handle under-center, goal-line or short-yardage snaps if Herbert’s grip limits those situations.
  • If Herbert suits up, Los Angeles plans to lean on shotgun and pistol formations, as it did after his injury in the win over the Raiders.
  • The 8-4 Chargers are managing the quarterback’s recovery on a day-to-day basis ahead of Monday Night Football against the defending-champion Eagles.
