Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a fractured finger on his non-throwing hand in Week 4. As he continues to play through the injury, fans are wondering if it is affecting his performance on the field. Despite the injury, Herbert has not missed any games and has shown some impressive stats in recent matchups.
During the game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4, Herbert injured his left hand and later discovered that he had fractured his middle finger. He played with a splint and a bandage on his hand during the game and has continued to play with the injury in subsequent weeks.
In the losses to the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs, Herbert struggled, completing just 58.2% of his passes for 486 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. However, in the recent victory over the Chicago Bears, Herbert had an excellent performance, completing 31 of 40 passes for 298 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
Herbert has been wearing a glove and a wrap over his finger in some games, which he says helps him grip the ball better and provides protection. He has indicated that his finger is improving every day.
As the Chargers prepare for their upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Jets, fans will be watching to see if Herbert's finger injury will impact his performance. Despite the injury, Herbert remains a key player for the Chargers and has the potential to make a significant impact on the game.
