Los Angeles Chargers field general Justin victor herbert underwent surgery on mon to resort a break in his left hand.

Justin Herbert fractured a bone in his non-throwing hand during the first quarter of the Chargers’ 31–14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on November 30. The injury occurred when he scrambled and Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn’s helmet struck Herbert’s left hand.

After the game, Herbert said he believed he would still be able to play the following week.

"I'm treating it as if I'm playing on Monday," Herbert said on Sunday. “I think they're very hopeful for that. I think that's just something that we'll see tomorrow and we'll get a feel for. But I think they were really hopeful. So that's always a good thing.”
