Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert exited Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter with an injury to the middle finger on his left (non-throwing) hand. Herbert said he wanted to stay in the game, but coach Jim Harbaugh overruled him. Herbert will undergo testing on the hand, and Harbaugh noted it "could be a fracture, we'll find out." Herbert told reporters he didn't think the injury would be an issue for next week, when the Chargers play the Baltimore Ravens on "Monday Night Football." Herbert was sacked eight times Sunday and threw his NFL-leading 11th interception.
He did throw a touchdown pass, however, as the Chargers reached the end zone for the first time in three games. The Chargers fell to 0-8 with the loss.
