Summary

- Herbert later threw a 58-yard touchdown despite the injury.
Quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a left middle finger injury during Sunday's game, which saw the Chargers heavily defeated. The injury happened with 14:12 remaining in the game, following a sack by Logan Hall. Herbert appeared to injure the middle finger on his left hand after giving a stiff arm.
Remarkably, Herbert stayed in the game and, two plays later, threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston. This score ended a streak of 38 possessions without a touchdown for the Chargers. However, Herbert did not return for the next possession, heading to the sideline medical tent.
Upon emerging, Herbert appeared to have a splint and glove on his left hand. The Chargers have not provided an update on his condition. It is unclear if Herbert's departure from the game was directly related to his injury or a consequence of the team trailing significantly.
