Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent surgery Monday to repair the broken bone in his left hand.

In a statement, the Chargers said: “Chargers QB Justin Herbert underwent successful surgery today in Los Angeles to stabilize a fracture in his left hand. Herbert’s return to play is considered day-to-day, and his status for next Monday’s game against Philadelphia will be determined later in the week.” Herbert injured his left hand in the first series at the end of a 1-yard scramble when Panthers defensive back Jeremy Chinn slammed the quarterback to the ground. Herbert’s hand banged against the turf, the story described. Herbert owners could be in a tough spot since the game is on Monday night, especially if Herbert comes down to a game-time call. Hopefully we know more as the week goes on.

Ravens RB Justice Hill will be out three to four weeks with a neck injury, coach John Harbaugh said.

Ali played 48% of snaps last Thursday and touched the ball four times for 17 rushing yards. Mitchell played on just 13% of snaps and also touched the ball four times but produced two catches for 12 yards and a rushing touchdown for a pretty decent fantasy day for his touches. The snaps say to pick up Ali but it could be Mitchell who starts to get more work, and we already know he can produce with limited touches, dating back to 2023.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert suffered a broken bone in his left hand during Sunday’s game against the Raiders, head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game.

Herbert will undergo surgery on Monday and it is unclear at this point how much time he will miss. Consider him questionable at best for next Monday against the Eagles. If Herbert can’t go, it would be Trey Lance getting the start. Herbert barely missed any action Sunday — Lance threw one pass — completing 15 of 20 passes for 151 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Chargers ruled out RB Omarion Hampton for Sunday’s game vs the Raiders. Hampton hasn’t played since fracturing his ankle in week 5.

“It was a good week,” Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh told reporters today. “Really beneficial, ramping up. Everything’s on track to return, not this week.”

Related Players: Kimani Vidal, Jaret Patterson, Amar Johnson

Vidal should take lead back duties once again, but he doesn't likely have the talent to overcome the issues along the Chargers offensive line. Consider him a high-end RB3, even in what should be a great matchup.

Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is on his way back to the lineup.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters on Tuesday that the team will designate Hampton for return from injured reserve. Hampton has been out since suffering an ankle injury in Week 5.

Hampton will be able to practice for the next 21 days and can be activated at any point in that window. The Chargers will play the Raiders this Sunday. This will be worth monitoring for Hampton fantasy owners to see if he'll be back this week. If the full window is used, he would return for Week 16. It's possible if he returns this week, he'll split the work with Vidal, but could at least be a flex option in a nice matchup.

Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden’s MRI today revealed a quad bruise that now will have him, per a source, “day to day.”

The day to day tag is encouraging that Gadsden has a shot to play in Week 11. The Bolts play an early Sunday game at the Jaguars, so owners should have time to adjust their lineups if Gadsden comes down to a game-time call.

Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden is scheduled to undergo an MRI today for the knee injury that he suffered last night.

Gadsden took a knee-on-knee hit during the SNF game against the Steelers and didn't return. Gadsden was a sleeper pick in dynasty leagues this past spring, and sure enough, he emerged as the Chargers TE1 over the last several weeks. Any missed time would be a huge hole for the Chargers, and of course fantasy owners who have begun to plug Gadsden in every week. We'll update as the news comes in.

Kevin Stefanski expects Cedric Tillman to play Sunday.

Shedeur Sanders will be the #2 QB.

Harold Fannin is questionable with a hamstring injury.

Related Players: David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash

It's probably best to avoid this Browns WR room wherever possible, but we've been getting plenty of good production out of the tight ends.

If Fannin were to miss, Njoku should be considered a low-end TE1.

Browns DE Isaiah McGuire (illness) returned to practice today.

Didn’t see LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle), TE Harold Fannin Jr., and WR Isaiah Bond (foot).

Related Players: David Njoku

This isn't a great sign coming out of the bye, particularly after Fannin popped up for his third double-digit fantasy performance of the year in Week 8. If he ends up being cleared, we should consider him a fringe TE1/2 option, but if he were to miss, Njoku should be started everywhere in a very winnable game.
