Imaging showed no fracture in Justin Herbert's finger
Herbert injured his left middle finger on the final of eight sacks he took Sunday.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has been struggling this season, facing a particularly tough challenge against defenses led by DeMeco Ryans. According to NBC Sports research, Herbert's career record against Ryans stands at 0-3, with two losses as head coach and one as a defensive coordinator. In those games, Herbert yielded a total of nine points, three touchdowns and six interceptions.
The most recent setback came in the 2024 wild-card loss to the Texans, where Herbert threw four interceptions. The Chargers are currently on a 10-game losing streak, one game shy of the franchise record set in 1975 and matched in 2000. A loss in their upcoming game against the Texans would drop the Chargers to 0-8 for the first time since 2000, a period when the team's primary quarterbacks were Ryan Leaf and current coach Jim Harbaugh.
Additionally, Herbert has gone nine consecutive games without posting multiple touchdowns, the second-longest such streak in Chargers history.
