Herbert’s Status in Doubt as Chargers Prepare for Eagles Matchup

Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles Chargers’ hopes for a crucial Monday night showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles hang in the balance as quarterback Justin Herbert’s availability remains uncertain. Herbert, who underwent surgery on his left hand earlier this week, is officially listed as questionable for the game.

Despite the surgery, optimism remains high. “Yeah, that’s the plan. To prepare as if I’m going to play,” Herbert said earlier this week. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh echoed that sentiment, stating, “On track, optimistic, looked good out there.” Harbaugh has been closely monitoring Herbert’s progress, noting improvements each day and expressing hope for continued recovery. “Much better on Thursday than he was on Wednesday, Friday better than it was Thursday. We’re hopeful that tomorrow will be better than today,” Harbaugh added.

Adding to the injury concerns, rookie running back Omarion Hampton is also questionable due to an ankle injury. Hampton recently had his 21-day practice window opened but faces uncertainty ahead of the game.

Defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia (elbow) and running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring), both on Injured Reserve, are also listed as questionable, meaning they would need to be added to the active roster if they are to play. Tight end Tucker Fisk has been ruled out due to an ankle injury.

The Chargers (record) are currently favored to win at home against the Eagles (record), and kickoff is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. PT at SoFi Stadium. The Chargers will be eagerly awaiting Herbert’s status to determine their chances in this important Week 14 contest.
