Chargers' Herbert: X-rays after Eagles win 'clean for most part' - ESPN

El SEGUNDO, Calif. — Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert said Wednesday that postgame X-rays on his fractured left hand came back «clean for the most part,» calling the tests after Monday night's win over the Philadelphia Eagles precautionary.

The Chargers listed Herbert as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Herbert, who underwent surgery on the hand a week before the Eagles game, hardly played like someone nursing an injury. He ran for a team-high 66 yards on 10 carries and produced three first downs on scrambles, giving him 18 for the season.

In overtime, Herbert ran for 12 yards and a first down, stiff-arming Eagles safety Reed Blankenship at the end.

Herbert said his hand was very sore Tuesday but that he didn't regret the play on Blankenship.

«In the moment I think that was the best thing that I could have done for the team,» he said. «There's a world where it is effective, maybe I'm staying on my feet and getting more yards.»

Herbert was also critical of how he and the offense played overall. He finished with a career-low completion percentage (46.2%), the sixth-fewest passing yards of his career (139), along with an interception and a lost fumble.

«I missed a lot of throws and played uncharacteristically,» he said Wednesday. «There's a bunch of plays that I'd love to have back.

»It's unfortunate that we didn't play to the expectations that we hold for ourselves, but I thought we did a great job battling all four quarters and in overtime because it looked pretty grim there for a while."

The Chargers (9-4) will look for a season sweep of the Kansas City Chiefs (6-7) on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
