Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a fracture in his left, non-throwing hand during the 31-14 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, and the team announced Monday that he underwent successful surgery to stabilize the fracture. Herbert is considered day-to-day, and his status for the Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night is to be determined. 

Herbert injured his hand on the Chargers' opening drive, which was capped by a 10-yard Quentin Johnston touchdown. The star signal-caller hurt his hand after taking a big hit from Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn, but he appeared to be OK. 

Following the opening scoring drive, Herbert exited the sideline and jogged to the locker room. Trey Lance took over at quarterback on L.A.'s next drive. When Herbert returned to the game that very same drive, he sported a large protective glove. 

Herbert completed 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards, two touchdowns and one interception vs. the Raiders, and passed Dan Marino for the third-most passing yards (23,935) in a quarterback's first six seasons in NFL history. Los Angeles relied on its rushing attack Sunday, as Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson combined for 180 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. 

Herbert told reporters he's treating this week as if he's playing, per ESPN. He will surely be pushing to play, and will need to wear a protective device on that injured hand, but it's possible Lance could make his first start for L.A. in Week 14.

The former No. 3 overall pick of the San Francisco 49ers made one start for the Dallas Cowboys last year, a 23-19 loss to the Washington Commanders in which he completed 20 of 34 passes for 244 yards. Lance is 2-3 in his career as a starter.
