Justin Herbert appears to injure middle finger on left hand

Justin Herbert took eight sacks on Sunday, with Sheldon Rankins, Jadeveon Clowney and Will Anderson contributing two each. It was a sack by Logan Hall with 14:12 remaining that the Chargers quarterback appeared to injure the middle finger on his left hand. Herbert gave a stiff arm to Hall as he tried to get away before the 8-yard sack. He got up looking at his left hand, which he had surgerically repaired in 2025 after breaking a bone in the back of his hand during a Week 13 game. Herbert stayed in and threw a 58-yard touchdown to Quentin Johnston two plays later, ending a streak of 38 possessions without a touchdown. Their previous touchdown came with 57 seconds left in the third quarter against the Broncos on Oct. 11 when Kimani Vidal scored on a 42-yard run in the 23-17 loss to Denver. Herbert did not return on the next possession, though. He went to the sideline medical tent and emerged with a glove on his left hand, and, it appeared, a splint on his middle finger. The Chargers did not provide an update on his injury, so it's unclear whether Herbert left with his injury or because the Chargers were losing 41-15. DJ Uiagalelei threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Derius Davis with 4:19 left.
