Justin Herbert appears to injure middle finger on left hand
Follow
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert sustained a possible injury to his left middle finger during a sack by Logan Hall with 14:12 remaining in Sunday's game. The play occurred after Herbert attempted to stiff-arm the defender while escaping a pressure situation, and he was seen inspecting the hand, which had previously undergone surgery in 2025 following a fracture sustained in Week 13.
Herbert remained in the game for one additional possession, connecting with Quentin Johnston on a 58-yard touchdown pass to end a 38-possession drought without a score. He subsequently exited for the medical tent and returned wearing a glove and what appeared to be a splint, though the team did not issue a specific injury update.
The Chargers trailed 41-15 at the time of his departure, and DJ Uiagalelei later threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Derius Davis with 4:19 left. The game featured significant defensive pressure on Herbert, who was sacked eight times, with Sheldon Rankins, Jadeveon Clowney, and Will Anderson each recording two.
