The Las Angeles Chargersprovided an update on Justin Herbert after the star quarterback underwent surgery to address a break in his left hand that he suffered during L.A.’s 31-14 Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Chargers said that the surgery was successful and that Herbert is considered day-to-day moving forward. His status for the Chargers’ Week 14 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football has yet to be determined.

Justin Herbert considered day-to-day after undergoing successful surgery

Herbert threw for 151 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders. On the season he has tallied 2,842 passing yards and 21 touchdowns.

If Herbert is unable to play against Philadelphia on Monday night, the Chargers will be forced to turn to backup quarterback Trey Lance, who has appeared in three games for L.A. this season. Chargers fans are hoping that it doesn't come to that, though.

For what it's worth, Herbert has already said that he expects to play against the Eagles.

"I think it's just something that we will monitor as the week goes on," Herbert said of the injury.
