Justin Herbert Suffers Fractured Left Hand, But Hopes to Play Next Game<\/h2>\n\nLos Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a fracture in his left hand during the 31-14 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The injury will require surgery, scheduled for Monday.\n\nDespite the injury, Herbert expressed his hope to play in the Chargers’ next game on December 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football”.\n\n\n

It’s one of those things where you just stabilize it, and unfortunately I’m not the doctor, but they were hopeful. So I think that’s a good thing.<\/p>Justin Herbert<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe injury occurred in the first quarter when Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn hit Herbert while he was running. Chinn’s helmet appeared to directly impact Herbert’s left hand.\n\nDespite the injury, Herbert continued playing, showing a clear preference for the affected hand, and even threw a touchdown to wide receiver Quentin Johnston on the next play.\n\nHerbert retreated to the locker room with the trainers and missed nine plays while they applied a cast and a glove to his left hand. The player commented that the most difficult part of continuing to play was holding the ball.\n\nDue to this, the Chargers didn’t take any snaps from center for the rest of the game. Backup Trey Lance was prepared to take the snaps in scoring scenarios.\n\n\n

I think it’s something we’ll monitor as the week goes on.<\/p>Justin Herbert<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nTwo seasons ago, Herbert fractured the middle finger of his left hand in a game against the Raiders. The Chargers played primarily from the shotgun formation to manage that injury.\n\n\n

I think in terms of experience, I’ve been through similar things, so I think it will be helpful. But at the end of the day, you just have to go out there and make sure everything is okay, that you’re comfortable.<\/p>Justin Herbert<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter on Sunday, Raiders outside linebacker Maxx Crosby shoved Herbert while celebrating after a third-down conversion. The officials flagged Crosby for unsportsmanlike conduct, which prompted another celebration from Herbert. A brief confrontation ensued between the players and an argument between Chargers wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal and Crosby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an emotional game, and I have nothing but respect for him as a player and as a teammate, but at the end of the day he could have kept his cool a little better too.<\/p>Justin Herbert<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nHerbert finished with 15 of 20 passes completed, 151 air yards, two touchdowns and one interception.\n\nHerbert’s injury comes at a crucial moment in the season for the Chargers, who are looking to make the postseason for the second year in a row. Four of the Chargers’ last five opponents were in the playoffs last season, and all of them (Philadelphia, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, and Denver Broncos) are competing for positions and a better ranking.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
