Chargers QB Justin Herbert To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery To Repair Finger

Another week, another franchise QB sidelined for the season…

During the Chargers Week 14 loss to the Broncos, Justin Herbert’s middle finger collided with the helment of a Denver pass rusher.

Herbert would leave the game with his throwing ability heavily compromised, with backup QB Easton Stick taking over.
