Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert left Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter with an injury to the middle finger on his left (non-throwing) hand.
Herbert said he wanted to stay in the game but coach Jim Harbaugh said he overruled the quarterback. The quarterback will undergo testing on the hand and Harbaugh said it "could be a fracture, we'll find out."
Herbert told reporters that he didn't believe the injury would be an issue for next week, when the Chargers play the Baltimore Ravens on "Monday Night Football."
He was sacked eight times in the loss and threw his NFL-leading 11th interception.
He did throw a touchdown pass, however, as the Chargers reached the end zone for the first time in three games.
The Chargers fell to 0-8 on the season with the loss.
