The Los Angeles Chargers have been dealt a blow with the news that their starting quarterback, Justin Herbert, has broken his finger. However, the team is confident that Herbert’s availability for their upcoming game against the Denver Broncos will not be affected.
The injury occurred during the Chargers’ Week 12 win over the New York Jets. Herbert was seen leaving the game with his right hand heavily taped. After the game, head coach Anthony Lynn confirmed that Herbert had suffered a broken finger on his throwing hand.
Despite the injury, the Chargers remain optimistic that Herbert will be able to play in their next game. Lynn has said that the team’s medical staff is confident that Herbert’s finger will heal in time for the game against the Broncos. He also noted that Herbert has been able to practice with the team and has not experienced any pain or discomfort.
Herbert has had a stellar rookie season, leading the Chargers to a 5-6 record and throwing for 3,015 yards and 25 touchdowns. He is currently tied for second in the NFL in touchdown passes and is on pace to break several rookie passing records.
The Chargers will be counting on Herbert to lead them to victory against the Broncos. While the broken finger may be a minor setback, it appears that it won’t affect Herbert’s availability for the game. The Chargers are hoping that Herbert can continue his impressive rookie season and help them make a run at the playoffs.
