Chargers' Justin Herbert: Leading rusher in win
Justin Herbert (left hand) completed 12 of his 26 pass attempts for 139 yards to go along with one touchdown and one interception. He was also the team's leading rusher with 10 carries for 66 yards, although he did fumble in the 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.Los Angeles' meager offensive line predictably struggled against Philadelphia's diabolical pass rush, and as such it seemed like Herbert was running for his life all evening. The feat was obviously more impressive considering the Pro Bowl quarterback just had surgery to repair a fracture in his left hand a week prior, but the near constant duress didn't allow for any gaudy fantasy figures. It's hard to envision that looking significantly better against the Chiefs next week, who will be trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Active for MNF
Justin Herbert (left hand) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Eagles, Eric Smith of the Los Angeles Chargers' official site reports.Herbert, who sustained a fracture in his left (non-throwing) hand during Week 13 action against the Raiders and underwent surgery to address the issue last Monday, had approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday through Saturday. With his active status confirmed, Herbert is in line to continue to helm a Chargers offense that will be bolstered by the return of RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) from IR. It remains to be seen if/how Herbert's injury will affect his ability to handle snaps versus Philadelphia, with the QB on track to wear a glove and protective guard on his injured hand, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Trey Lance is next in line for signal-caller snaps should Herbert suffer any setbacks.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Officially questionable for Monday

Coach Jim Harbaugh revealed afterward that Herbert sustained a broken bone in that hand, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported its exact nature as a metacarpal fracture on Monday morning.

Chargers' Justin Herbert: Should play in Week 14
Justin Herbert is slated to undergo surgery Monday to repair a metacarpal fracture on his left (non-throwing) hand, but the Los Angeles Chargers plan to have the quarterback available for their Week 14 game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.After suffering the injury in the first quarter and missing nine plays in the first half of Sunday's 31-14 win over the Raiders, Herbert was able to check back into the contest and finished the game with 15 completions on 20 attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding eight yards on three carries. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed after the game that Herbert would be sent for surgery, but the Chargers are optimistic that the signal-caller won't miss further time. Herbert will be aided by an extra day of recovery ahead of a Monday nighter versus Philadelphia, and Los Angeles could also deploy him in more shotgun formations depending on how much difficulty he has handing off the ball. Herbert is also likely to continue wearing some type of supportive cast or glove, as he did after returning to Sunday's contest.
