EL SEGUNDO, Calif -- Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert won't play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos, coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday.
Backup quarterback Trey Lance will start, while DJ Uiagalelei, who has been on the practice squad all season, will be elevated as the backup.
Herbert, who will not dress out for the game, has been playing through a fractured left hand since Week 13. Harbaugh said other starters could also be held out of Sunday's game.
"Winning and health, being healthy, those are our two objectives," Harbaugh said.
