Justin Herbert, the quarterback for the Chargers, is set to see hand specialists on Monday, with his Thursday status uncertain. Sources indicate that the decision on whether he can return this season depends on his surgery. As a result, the Chargers have placed Herbert on injured reserve, leading to the activation of wide receiver Joshua Palmer. This move comes as Herbert is ruled out for the season, adding pressure to the Chargers' playoff hopes.
