Justin Herbert to undergo testing after finger injury in Chargers' loss to Texans

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is set to undergo medical evaluation after sustaining an injury to the middle finger on his left hand during Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Houston Texans. The injury occurred in the second half, forcing the quarterback to the sidelines for the remainder of the contest.

While Herbert expressed a desire to remain on the field, head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed that he made the decision to pull his starter from the game. Addressing the media following the defeat, Harbaugh noted that the injury could potentially be a fracture, with further testing required to determine the full extent of the damage.

The injury capped a difficult afternoon for the Chargers, who struggled to contain the Texans' defense. Herbert was under constant pressure throughout the game, enduring eight sacks. Additionally, he recorded his 11th interception of the season, a figure that currently leads the NFL.

On a minor positive note, Herbert managed to throw a touchdown pass, marking the first time the Chargers have reached the end zone in three games. The defeat leaves the team winless on the season with an 0-8 record as they look toward their next challenge against Baltimore.
