Saturday (Final) Update: The Chargers have dropped their final injury report of Week 14 and both quarterback Justin Herbert (left hand) and running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) are each listed as questionable for Monday night against the Eagles. Jim Harbaugh has been optimistic about Herbert playing as normal this week and the same goes for Hampton. The latter was also officially activated off of IR so it looks like it’s full steam ahead for the team’s star rookie.
Other players who will carry a questionable tag into Monday night are running back Hassan Haskins and defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia. Tight end/fullback Tucker Fisk is the lone player ruled out for Monday Night Football after he failed to log a practice this seek.
Friday Update: The Chargers’ injury report for Friday has come in and it’s a lot cleaner than Thursday’s list by a wide margin. This time, only two of the 10 players were not a full participant in practice. Justin Herbert (hand) was a limited participant for the second day in a row and tight end/fullback Tucker Fisk (ankle) was a DNP once again, as well.
To the relief of the Chargers fan base, quarterback Justin Herbert was a limited participant in practice on Thursday just three days after he underwent surgery to repair a fracture in his non-throwing hand. Herbert told the reporters earlier in the week that a plate and several screws were inserted into his hand and despite this severe-sounding injury, he’s still preparing to not miss any game time.

As for the rest of the team’s initial injury report, nine other players received a designation for Thursday’s practice.
Pass rusher Bud Dupree (veteran’s rest day), tight end/fullback Tucker Fisk (ankle), and defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand (illness) were all sidelined to begin Eagles prep.
Running backs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Hassan Haskins (hamstring), wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shoulder), and offensive linemen Trey Pipkins (back) and Jamaree Salyer (shoulder) were all limited. The expectation by all reports is that Hampton will make his long-awaited return to the field this week after missing the last seven games with an ankle fracture.
