INGLEWOOD, California — The Los Angeles Chargers got an injury scare during their Nov. 30 game against the Las Vegas Raiders .

Quarterback Justin Herbert fractured a bone in his left hand during the Chargers' 31-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders .

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Herbert will undergo a procedure on Monday to repair the quarterback's hand.

Herbert injured his left hand on a scramble during the Chargers' opening drive when he was hit to the turf by Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn . Herbert and the Chargers went on to score on the 14-play, 74-yard touchdown drive to start the game. However, Herbert exited to locker room after the Chargers' opening series in the first quarter.

Chargers backup quarterback Trey Lance took over as the team took the field in the second series.

The Chargers later announced Herbert was questionable to return with a left hand injury.

The Chargers' franchise quarterback checked back in with a white glove on his left hand early in the second quarter as the crowd cheered his return. He was able to finish the game.

He passed for 151 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

"He's as tough as they come," Harbaugh said.

Herbert is confident he won't miss any action despite his left-hand injury. The Chargers quarterback is "hopeful" he'll be on the field when the team plays the Philadelphia Eagles next Monday night in Week 14.

"I'm treating it as if I'm playing on Monday," Herbert said. "I think they're very hopeful for that. I think that's just something that we'll see tomorrow and we'll get a feel for. But I think they were really hopeful. So that's always a good thing."
