12:00 AM: Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a broken bone in his left (non-throwing) hand during the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Los Angeles Head Coach Jim Harbaugh announced after the game that Herbert will undergo surgery on Monday.

The Chargers, however, are optimistic that Herbert will play against the Eagles on Monday Night Football.

"I'm treating it as if I'm playing on Monday," Herbert told reporters, according to Chargers.com.

"He's as tough as they come," Harbaugh added. "Taped it up, glove, and played a great game."

But it's not a guarantee that Herbert will suit up.

"We'll see where the week takes us," Harbaugh said.

Herbert missed just eight plays as backup Trey Lance came in at quarterback. Los Angeles kept Herbert in pistol and shotgun formations to avoid contact at the line of scrimmage. Harbaugh said Lance would have entered the game in any goal-line situations.

Herbert finished 15-of-20 for 151 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the 31-14 win to improve Los Angeles' record to 8-4. The Chargers are currently the top Wild Card team in the AFC.

With Herbert limited, the Chargers relied on their rushing attack to the tune of 43 carries (tied for most this season) for 192 yards (second most this season) and two touchdowns. Kimani Vidal had a career-high 126 rushing yards on 25 attempts, including a 59-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter to break a 7-7 tie. It was the longest rushing score by a Chargers player since 2022. – Chris McPherson
