Justin Herbert injured his left hand in the LA Chargers' win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday and underwent surgery to treat the injury on Monday. The surgery was reportedly successful, and with it, Chargers fans got more information on exactly the type of injury Herbert sustained.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Herbert suffered a fractured metacarpal on his left hand. The metacarpal connects the wrist bones to the finger bones and impacts all five fingers. It's unclear where specifically the fracture was, and which fingers were affected.
It sounds worrisome, but it actually isn't.
