Hand not his chief concern

But the cold and a desperate K.C. will challenge Herbert, Chargers
Almost immediately after a thrilling overtime victory against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, Justin Herbert went in for imaging and X-rays on his ailing left hand.
The Chargers quarterback had passed for 139 yards and run for 66 more in a 22-19 win just a week after undergoing surgery to stabilize a fracture in his non-throwing hand. Now, after one of the biggest wins of the season, he was hoping to receive good news about his injury despite being sacked a career-worst seven times.
The scans showed his hand was swollen but had improved since surgery, Herbert said. The results provided him with a sense of optimism heading into the Chargers' AFC West showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
