Justin Herbert Suffers Finger Injury Against Broncos (Out of Game)
being told it's a finger injury and his return is questionable. You see him here getting taken down by Zach Allen. He gets up, starts shaking his hand, and it looks like it's his right index finger. To me, it's the second most important finger outside of your thumb. Your thumb's on the back side of that ball, but the index finger is the last one to touch it when you're releasing it and has so much to do with feel and accuracy.
Justin Herbert is playing injured and still throwing dimes.
Justin Herbert, despite being in visible pain, continues to deliver crucial plays. He struggles to throw but manages to keep the drive alive with a significant pass to Deandre Carter inside the 10-yard line on fourth down, showcasing his exceptional skills. This play brings the game to the two-minute warning. Herbert's ability to make precise throws under pressure, such as his pass to Carter and later to Joshua Palmer, highlights why he is considered one of the elite quarterbacks.
