A day after suffering a fractured left (non-throwing) hand during Sunday\u2019s win over the Las Vegas Raiders, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent successful surgery Monday in Los Angeles. The team announced he is considered \u201cday-to-day,\u201d and his availability for next week\u2019s game against the Philadelphia Eagles will be evaluated later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Herbert sustained the injury on a scramble in the first quarter when a Raiders defender\u2019s helmet collided with his left hand. Despite the pain, he stayed in the game \u2014 cushioned by a cast and glove \u2014 and helped lead his team to victory. He completed 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns before leaving briefly for medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though Herbert and the Chargers remain hopeful he\u2019ll be ready for Monday night\u2019s game, the team is preparing for alternatives. Backup quarterback Trey Lance is expected to take key first-team reps this week, especially in goal-line and under-center situations, to help ease any potential burden on Herbert\u2019s injured hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
