Justin Herbert Injury

Herbert has since gone back into the game with a large bandage on his finger, which signifies that it can be a fracture or a break. Luckily for the Chargers, the injury is on his non-throwing hand so it should not affect him too much. The star quarterback was taken into the blue tent immediately after the injury occurred, which prompted backup quarterback Easton Stick to warm up in case he needed to play for Herbert.

Momentum Swing?

Herbert was on a roll throwing and running the ball before throwing his first interception of the 2023 season. The Chargers have the lead in the fourth quarter, but it should be interesting to see if the injured hand will play a factor in this game.

For the moment, Justin Herbert is back in the game, and looks like he will fight through the injury. The Chargers will be keeping a close eye on the hand as the quarterback continues to try and make plays for his team. This is a developing situation and will be updated as the game comes to an end.
