INGLEWOOD, Calif -- Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert on Sunday suffered a break in his left hand that will require surgery during his team's 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders .
The procedure is scheduled to occur on Monday, and Herbert expects to play in the Chargers' next game, against the Philadelphia Eagles on Dec. 8 on Monday Night Football.
"I'm treating it as if I'm playing on Monday," Herbert said. And the quarterback added that "it's one of those things where you just stabilized it, and I'm not the doctor, unfortunately, but they were hopeful. So, I think that's a good thing."
Herbert sustained the injury in the first quarter when Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn hit him on a scramble, Chinn's helmet appearing to connect directly with Herbert's left hand
