Justin Herbert was tackled by Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn on the Chargers’ first drive of the game on a scramble attempt in the red zone. On the very next play, Herbert threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Quentin Johnston to take an early 7-0 lead.
After showing no signs of an issue during the scoring play, Herbert jogged into the locker room with trainers soon after coming off the field. Moments later, it was being reported that Herbert had injured his left hand and was questionable to return.

However, following the win, head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Herbert suffered a break in his left hand and would undergo a procedure on Monday. As of right now, Harbaugh is unsure whether or not Herbert will miss time.
The Chargers play the Eagles at home on Monday Night Football in Week 14.
