Justin Herbert’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He played through a fractured non-throwing hand late in 2025 after surgery, and a 2023 throwing-hand finger fracture cost him four games.
In the Sept. 20 loss to the Raiders, Herbert completed 15 of 27 passes for 192 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, took three sacks and fumbled three times, per CBS Sports. Injuries along the Chargers’ interior line and at tight end hurt his protection in September, per Chargers.com and SI.
Fantasy Action: Herbert was added to our feed as questionable with a finger injury late Sunday; start him if he’s active, and confirm his status once the Chargers’ Week 10 report begins. His value otherwise still tracks his protection and receiver health.
