Jim Harbaugh addresses Justin Herbert's availability for Week 14

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh provided an update on quarterback Justin Herbert following the surgery on a broken bone in his non-throwing (left) hand that he suffered in the recent win over the Raiders.

Harbaugh stated that Herbert will not practice on Wednesday but "hasn't missed a beat" in meetings and walkthroughs and will be watching practice on the field later this afternoon.

When asked about Herbert's availability for the Monday night game against the Eagles and whether the team is preparing for him to start, Harbaugh said the team is "optimistic that's going to be the case" and that they will "see how the week goes."

Harbaugh added that they are preparing the same game plan for both Herbert and backup quarterback Trey Lance.

We will continue to provide updates regarding Herbert's practice status throughout the week.
