Justin Herbert appears to injure left middle finger during Chargers game
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert appeared to injure his left middle finger during Sunday's game when Logan Hall sacked him.
Herbert had surgery on his left hand in 2025 after breaking a bone in it.
He stayed in and threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston two plays later.
That score ended the Chargers' run of 38 possessions without a touchdown.
Herbert left on the next possession and came back from the medical tent wearing a glove, apparently with a splint on his middle finger.
The Chargers gave no injury update, so it was not clear whether the injury or the team's 41-15 deficit led to his exit.
Backup DJ Uiagalelei later threw a touchdown pass to Derius Davis.
