Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) limited in practice

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was a limited practice participant on Thursday, three days after undergoing left hand surgery.

The team termed Herbert as day-to-day after the surgery, but he is counting on playing in Monday night's home game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

During the surgery, Herbert had a plate and multiple screws inserted into his non-throwing hand.

"As long as it's stabilized and fixed and the doctors feel comfortable with it, then I think you can move on to just playing and just trying not to focus on it too much," Herbert told reporters on Wednesday.

Herbert was injured during Sunday's 31-14 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Trey Lance would be the starting quarterback against the Eagles if Herbert can't play.

Herbert, 27, has passed for 2,842 yards and 21 touchdowns against 10 interceptions this season for the Chargers (8-4).

In 91 career games, Herbert has 23,935 yards and 158 touchdowns with 55 interceptions. He was the sixth overall pick by the Chargers in the 2020 draft.

Other Chargers who were limited on Thursday were running backs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Hassan Haskins (hamstring), receiver Quentin Johnston (shoulder) and offensive linemen Trey Pipkins III (back) and Jamaree Salyer (shoulder).

Defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand (illness) and tight end Tucker Fisk (ankle) were the only Chargers to miss practice due to injury or illness.
