Justin Herbert Has A Fractured Finger

Justin Herbert Has A Fractured Finger

12 months ago

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) didn't return to Sunday's ugly loss to the Denver Broncos. The signal-caller exited halfway through the contest and was listed as questionable. However, the team announced after halftime that Herbert's day was finished. As relayed by NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, head coach Brandon Staley reported that Herbert sustained a fractured right index finger to his throwing hand. As a result, Herbert will likely need more tests to determine his treatment plan. But it's unlikely he'll be on the field on Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. There's also a chance his season is over, considering the Chargers aren't expected to enter the postseason conversation. If that's the case, Easton Stick, who threw for 179 yards off 13-for-24 passing, may be under center for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, although his presence may not be good news for Keenan Allen, who's been a top fantasy signal-caller all year.
