Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is set to undergo surgery on Monday after suffering a broken bone in his non-throwing hand during Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 27-year-old's injury occurred on the team's opening touchdown drive, forcing him to leave the field in the first half. Despite initial hopes of returning, Herbert ultimately checked back into the game but struggled with his grip, leading the offense to adjust around his limitations. Herbert's surgery is a strong indication that he will miss the Chargers' Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, paving the way for Trey Lance to make his first start of the season. The Chargers' depth chart shows a solid backup in Lance, with several key players ready to step up in case of injuries. The Chargers' injury woes come as a significant blow to their playoff hopes, but the team remains confident in its ability to overcome adversity. With a strong defense and a capable offense, the Chargers are looking to bounce back from this setback and continue their push for a postseason spot.
