Chargers QB Justin Herbert (finger) ruled out vs. Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos due to a finger injury on his throwing hand.

Herbert sustained the injury late in the second quarter while throwing a pass downfield in a crowded pocket. Broncos defensive lineman Zach Allen pulled Herbert to the ground just before letting off the pass, which was incomplete.

Herbert was deemed questionable to return upon exiting the game. He was ruled out as the second half was underway.

Easton Stick came into the game for Herbert on the next Chargers possession, which ended in a punt after three plays.

Herbert finished having completed 9 of 17 passes for 96 yards and an interception.

Los Angeles was down, 7-0, at the time of Herbert’s exit and entered halftime down, 10-0, with its franchise QB dealing with another hand injury.
