Justin Herbert News

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) has been placed on injured reserve. Herbert will miss the remainder of this season after the Chargers' star quarterback was scheduled for surgery on his broken finger. Expect Easton Stick to start under center while most of Los Angeles' offensive options take a hit with Herbert now sidelined. For Week 15's matchup versus a Las Vegas Raiders' defense ranked ninth in fantasy points (14.4) allowed per game to quarterbacks, our models project Stick to score 12.0 FanDuel points.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will undergo surgery on his broken finger Tuesday, putting his status for the remainder of the season in jeopardy. Whether or not Herbert will return this season is likely to be determined by the outcome of his scheduled surgery according to Schefter. The star suffered a fracture to the index finger of his throwing hand, making it a near impossible injury for a quarterback to play through. With the Chargers' season circling the drain, it's possible the team shuts him down for the remainder of the year. Herbert battled to bring the Chargers to a 5-8 record this year, operating without most of his primary pass-catchers for much of the year. With 2023 all but over, Herbert could start shifting his focus towards the 2024 campaign. If his season is over, he'll finish it with 3,134 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions.
