— Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert on Sunday suffered a break in his left hand that will require surgery during his team’s 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
The procedure is scheduled for Monday, and Herbert said he expects to play in the Chargers’ next game, Dec. 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles on « Monday Night Football. »
« It’s one of those things where you just stabilized it, and I’m not the doctor, unfortunately, but they were hopeful », Herbert said. « So, I think that’s a good thing. »
Herbert sustained the injury in the first quarter when Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn hit him on a scramble; Chinn’s helmet appeared to connect directly with Herbert’s left hand. Herbert stayed in the game, clearly favoring the hand, and threw a touchdown to wide receiver Quentin Johnston on the next play.
