Herbert’s season is over and, in all likelihood, so is the Chargers.
The Los Angeles Chargers saw their already slim playoff hopes effectively eliminated on Sunday, as they not only fell to 5-8 with a dismal 24-7 loss to the Broncos, but saw star quarterback Justin Herbert leave the game in the second half with a broken finger on his throwing hand.
On Tuesday, we learned that Herbert, who battled through an injury to his non-throwing hand earlier this year, will miss the rest of the season after the team opted to have him get surgery to repair his injured finger. With Herbert out, backup Easton Stick will quarterback the team for the remaining four games of the season.
