Playoff Odds Implications for Eagles vs. Chargers on Monday Night Football
Justin Herbert had surgery with plate and screws to stabilize his left hand and the Chargers are preparing Trey Lance if Herbert cannot play Monday night.
- On Monday, Justin Herbert underwent surgery for a broken left hand and said he expects to play Week 14 Monday Night Football against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium.
- On a scramble Sunday, Herbert fractured his non-throwing left hand after Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn's helmet appeared to hit his hand, forcing a brief exit while a hard cast and glove were applied; he missed nine plays before returning to throw a touchdown.
- Managing swelling and protection of the hand has guided recovery, with Herbert wearing a cast, keeping the hand in a hoodie pocket, and not gripping a football yet.
- Preparing Trey Lance to start is the team's contingency as Jim Harbaugh said the Chargers are optimistic Herbert will play Monday but may use Lance for goal-line or short-yardage situations.
- The situation creates a potential roadblock for the Los Angeles Chargers' final five games, as missing Herbert would be his first in 2025, recalling his 2023 absence.
