{ "title": "Justin Herbert's Surgery a Success: Will He Suit Up for Chargers' Next Game?", "article": "Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a setback during their 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on November 30. While scrambling, Herbert's left hand was struck by Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn's helmet, resulting in a fracture. Despite the injury, Herbert returned to the game, completing 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Herbert underwent successful surgery in Los Angeles on Monday to stabilize the fracture. The Chargers released a statement confirming the procedure, stating that Herbert's return to play is considered day-to-day. His status for the team's next game against Philadelphia will be determined later in the week. According to former NFL team doctor David J. Chao, Herbert is likely to play in the team's next game. Chao expressed optimism on social media, stating that Herbert's chances of playing next week are higher than when he finished the game. It's worth noting that Herbert is a right-handed quarterback, and the injury occurred in his non-throwing hand. Fans and supporters of the Chargers can breathe a sigh of relief, as Herbert's throwing hand remains unaffected by the injury."
