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.

Even though Jayden Reed is back at practice, he still has to be given final medical clearance to play.

Also said Matthew Golden (wrist) could potentially play Sunday vs. CHI.

LaFleur said: "The plan is to see where he's at by the end of the week," according to the post. Reed should be close as he returned last week and there was some hoped he'd be able to play on Thanksgiving. We may not have a better idea until later this week as far as Reed goes, however. The Packers play in a later Sunday game at home against the Bears, who currently have the top seed in the NFC.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has missed the last four games while on injured reserve, which means he is now eligible to return to practice and be activated to play in games.

That’s not going to happen this week, however. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said at his Monday press conference that Murray is “not quite there yet” in his recovery from a foot injury.

When Murray was injured, there was a lot of speculation that he might not return to the lineup again this season even if he’s healthy and that the two sides are on track to part ways when the season is over, the story said. The story added, during an appearance on Arizona Sports Monday, Gannon said that he has no objection to playing Murray if the quarterback is well enough to play. Brissett will get at least one more week as the starter and it will be a later Sunday game at home against the Rams.
