Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a left-hand injury during Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert was hit by Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn on a 1-yard scramble, slamming his non-throwing hand to the ground. The injury occurred in the first quarter, causing Herbert to leave the game for a brief evaluation. He was seen wearing a large padded glove on his left hand, with his ring and middle fingers taped together, and was able to return to the game in the second quarter. Despite the injury, Herbert completed a crucial 10-yard pass to Keenan Allen on 3rd-and-10 and remained in the game at halftime. The Chargers' coaching staff has listed Herbert as questionable to return, but the extent of the injury remains unclear. Backup quarterback Trey Lance entered the game in Herbert's place, but the Chargers were able to maintain their lead and secure a win.
