INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who suffered an injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders that required a splint on his left middle finger, said he was not sure if he would miss any games and joked that the injury was "just a flesh wound."

Herbert said the injury resulted from his finger getting stuck in a helmet after throwing an interception that was caught by Raiders cornerback Tre'von Moehrig. Herbert sat on the field following the play and then headed to the medical tent with an athletic trainer who covered Herbert's hand with a towel.
