Chargers’ Justin Herbert Questionable to Return After Apparent Finger Injury; Doctor Reacts

The Chargers lost to the Broncos by 7-24 in the NFL week 14 game, which was a must-win for either side to keep their playoff hopes alive. But that wasn’t even the most concerning news at the Chargers camp. It came from the locker room involving quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Chargers’ QB has headed toward the locker room after a finger injury during the second quarter, something that was later confirmed as a fracture by the head coach. The team replaced Herbert with backup Easton Stick, but he couldn’t change the fate of the home side atop their poor offensive run in the league.

Easton Stick failed to shine as Justin Herbert’s replacement

The QB and the franchise altogether haven’t had a great offensive display in the season, something that reflected in their latest game as well. The Wilson-led Broncos defeated the home side 24-7, and Herbert couldn’t even see all of it. He was out with 9-17 for 96 yards with more interceptions to show for than touchdowns. While 28-year-old backup QB Easton Stick did his best with the limited time he had at 13-24 for 179 yards, it was nearly not enough.

With the latest build-up, the QB remains as good as questionable. Although no one has still revealed his next plan, HC Brandon Staley has explained his exact condition. And that will come as a concern to the fans.

Justin Herbert suffered index dinger fracture, doctor explains

Staley has revealed that Herbert has suffered a fracture in the index finger of his right hand, as the breaking comes in.

Miami-based doctor Jesse Morse has further explained the play which may have resulted in the injury for the QB. According to him, it occurred when a Broncos defender seemingly stepped on Herbert’s right index finger.

The Chargers averaged only 2.7 yards/play in the first two quarters, and have just scored one offensive touchdown in their last 12 full quarters combined! Something that is now worsened by the loss and Herbert’s injury. Can the Chargers still be relevant in the season after their 8th defeat with 3 games to play? Tell us your thoughts.
