Justin Herbert injury Chargers vs. Texans, Digi Mart USA News: The Los Angeles Chargers’ dismal season may have just gotten even worse. Starting quarterback Justin Herbert was forced to exit Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans and did not return after suffering an apparent injury to his non-throwing hand.
Herbert was subbed off in the fourth quarter and was seen on the sideline wearing a large splint glove on his left hand. Backup QB DJ Uiagalelei took Herbert’s place in the game.
There has been no word yet on what Herbert’s ailment is exactly or how much time, if any, he may miss. Herbert had been mostly ineffective thus far for the winless Chargers, who were losing 41-15 before he exited the game.
Uiagalelei threw a touchdown pass in his relief appearance.
