Justin Herbert injury update: What happened to Chargers QB's finger?
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert suffered a left-hand injury in the first quarter of Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
UPDATE: Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert returned to Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders at SoFi Stadium after leaving the game with a left-hand injury in the first quarter.
Herbert came back early in the second quarter, around the 12-minute mark. He was seen wearing a large padded glove on his left hand with his ring and middle fingers taped together. He tested his grip with practice snaps on the sideline before re-entering the game. Herbert completed a key 10-yard pass to Keenan Allen on 3rd-and-10.
At halftime, with the Chargers leading 10-7, Herbert remained in the game and appeared to move normally, though the glove limited his mobility on scrambles. No additional updates on the injury’s severity were available.
