After undergoing surgery on his left hand earlier in the week and getting limited practice time, Chargers' star quarterback Justin Herbert is officially listed as healthy, per the team's gameday injury report. With that designation, he will be the starter for Los Angeles (8-4) vs. the Philadelphia Eagles (9-4).
Herbert underwent successful surgery last Monday on a broken bone in his left hand, which he injured in the Bolts' Week 13 31-14 win against the Raiders (2-11).
While backup quarterback Trey Lance is still a serviceable option for the Bolts, Herbert's availability is paramount towards not only the Bolts' Monday night matchup against the Eagles, but also down the final stretch of the regular season.
In addition to Herbert's expectation to play tonight, running backs Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins, and defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia were all activated from the Reserve/Injured list and added to the 53-man roster earlier Monday. All three are expected to be available tonight.
As for the Chargers' inactive players in tonight's matchup, the group includes tight end Tyler Conklin and offensive tackle Austin Deculus. Also inactive are a quartet of rookies: cornerback Nikko Reed, outside linebacker Kyle Kennard, and wide receivers KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Dalevon Campbell.
The Chargers and Eagles kick off at 5:15 p.m. PT from SoFi Stadium, with the game being broadcast on ESPN and ABC.
