Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert broke his right index finger, forcing him to be placed on injured reserve and missing the rest of the 2023 NFL season. He had to leave the game against the Denver Broncos early due to an injury. After Herbert was hurt, Easton Stick became the Chargers’ starting quarterback.
Today, Justin Herbert’s right index finger will be operated on to fix the fracture. He is going to be put on injured reserve. Throughout the season, Herbert had to struggle with finger problems, including one earlier in the season when he broke the middle finger on his non-throwing hand. Herbert is anticipated to bounce back from this setback and play again for the Chargers in upcoming seasons. With a record of 5-8 and no hope of qualifying for the playoffs in a competitive AFC, the team decided to rest Herbert for the remainder of the season. The Chargers’ supporters will be excited for Herbert’s return given his stellar resume of starting 62 straight games before to this injury.
