Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter.
The game was out of control, but the biggest problem is Herbert’s hand.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game that he made the decision to pull Herbert after an injury to Herbert’s left middle finger.
“It could be a divide,” Harbaugh said, via Alex Insdorf of Bolt Breakdowns. “We will know.”
Herbert appeared to injure his non-throwing hand on a sack of Logan Hall when the quarterback tried to stiff the defensive lineman with 14:12 remaining. Herbert, who was sacked eight times in the 44-22 loss, threw a touchdown pass two plays later.
Harbaugh said Herbert wanted to stay in the game.
Herbert underwent surgical repair on his left hand during the 2025 season after breaking a bone in the back of his hand during a Week 13 game. He played through his injury and hopes to play through his current injury.
“I’ll do everything I can to make sure I’m 100 percent,” Herbert said after the match.
Herbert will undergo additional testing on Monday.
