The Chargers are currently trailing the Broncos by 7 points in the NFL week 14 game, a crucial match for both teams with playoff hopes on the line. However, the most concerning news at the Chargers camp isn’t about the score. It comes from the locker room and involves quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Chargers’ QB has headed towards the locker room after an apparent finger injury during the second quarter. They have replaced him with backup Easton Stick, adding to the challenges for the home team in this crucial game.

The QB and the franchise altogether haven’t had a great offensive display this season, and this is reflected in the ongoing game as well. The Wilson-led Broncos are leading the home side 10-0 after two full quarters, and Herbert is out with 9-17 for 96 yards with more interceptions than touchdowns. 28-year-old backup QB, Easton Stick, has taken up his role since his departure, and without any further build-up, the QB remains as good as questionable.
Miami-based doctor Jesse Morse has further explained the play which may have resulted in the injury for the QB. According to him, it occurred when a Broncos defender seemingly stepped on Herbert’s right index finger.

Justin Herbert
Got injured on ⬇️ play
Broadcasters are saying right index finger, which was injured here when a defender landed/stepped on it.
This is a VERY important finger for throwing.
Options include sprain and/or fracture.
X-rays will be completed.

The Chargers averaged only 2.7 yards/play in the first two quarters, and have just scored one offensive touchdown in their last 10 full quarters combined! Something that is now worsened by Herbert’s potential injury. Can the home side pull off a shocker despite all their disadvantages against the highly motivated Broncos?
