Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) got in a limited practice on Thursday. He was sporting a bulky brace on that left hand in the portion of practice open to the media. OC Greg Roman said afterward that he's "optimistic" Herbert will be able to play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. We continue to project Herbert to play, which would be good news for Los Angeles' skill-position players. But Herbert will not be a recommended start in 1-QB leagues.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) won't practice on Wednesday but will participate in the walkthrough, HC Jim Harbaugh said. The team remains uncertain whether Herbert will be able to play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. We don't expect to have a good idea of his availability for that one until the weekend -- and potentially not until Monday. Fantasy owners should not be planning on starting Herbert this week. Between the injury and matchup with Philadelphia's sixth-ranked QB defense, Herbert would be a shaky play even if he suits up.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert had surgery to repair the fracture in his left hand on Monday. “Herbert’s return to play is considered day-to-day, and his status for next Monday’s game against Philadelphia will be determined later in the week," the team said in a statement. We'll keep a close eye on Herbert's status leading up to the Monday nighter. We're tentatively expecting him to play, but he'd be a risky fantasy play with the injury and in the matchup against the Eagles' 10th-ranked QB defense.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert will undergo surgery on Monday to repair a fracture in his left hand, HC Jim Harbaugh said after the win over the Raiders. Herbert got hurt in the first quarter but returned with protection on his left hand and played the rest of the game. Harbaugh said the team doesn't know yet whether Herbert will miss time. He'll have an extra day to heal ahead of next Monday night's game against the Eagles -- although that could also leave fantasy owners in a tough spot if Herbert's status isn't known by Sunday. We'll keep you updated throughout the week. Herbert's absence would put Trey Lance under center for the Chargers. He'd be a big downgrade for the team's pass catchers but would have some fantasy appeal thanks to his rushing ability.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert threw for 81 yards and 1 INT in Week 11. Backup QB Trey Lance finished out the 35-6 road loss in Jacksonville.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert was pressured often against the Steelers, being sacked five times. He ended up completing 20 of 33 passes for 220 yards and a TD. He did find a little success with his legs rushing 5 times for 19 yards. Missing OTs Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater was apparent against the Steelers with Herbert throwing the ball under pressure throughout the game.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal rushed 12 times for 30 yards in Sunday's matchup with Tennessee. Vidal topped No. 2 RB Jaret Patterson in snap share – 72% to 28% – but the carry distribution was much tighter. Vidal led by only 3 attempts in a 7-point road win.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert tallied a career-high 420 yards on 37-of-55 passing in Sunday's loss to the Colts. It was the second 400-yard game of his career, coming two years after Herbert threw for 405 at Minnesota in September 2023. Herbert tossed three TD passes and a pair of INTs in a game that found him playing from behind the whole way. The Colts scored first, jumped to a 10-point lead early in the second quarter, and led by 20 at the end of the first half. That obviously helped drive big passing volume for L.A., which threw 35 second-half passes.
