Justin Herbert appears to injure middle finger on left hand

Published November 8, 2026 07:15 PM Justin Herbert took eight sacks on Sunday, with Sheldon Rankins, Jadeveon Clowney and Will Anderson contributing two each. It was a sack by Logan Hall with 14:12 remaining that the Chargers quarterback appeared to injure the middle finger on his left hand.Herbert gave a stiff arm to Hall as he tried to get away before the 8-yard sack. He got up looking at his left hand, which he had surgerically repaired in 2025 after breaking a bone in the back of his hand during a Week 13 game.Herbert stayed in and threw a 58-yard touchdown to Quentin Johnston two plays later, ending a streak of 38 possessions without a touchdown. Their previous touchdown came with 57 seconds left in the third quarter against the Broncos on Oct. 11 when Kimani Vidal scored on a 42-yard run in the 23-17 loss to Denver.Herbert did not return on the next possession, though. He went to the sideline medical tent and emerged with a glove on his left hand, and, it appeared, a splint on his middle finger.The Chargers did not provide an update on his injury, so it’s unclear whether Herbert left with his injury or because the Chargers were losing 41-15.DJ Uiagalelei threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Derius Davis with 4:19 left.
