In his Thursday press conference, offensive coordinator Greg Roman also noted that the team is planning to have Herbert available for Week 14.

Herbert missed only 10 snaps during Sunday’s victory over the Raiders before going back in the game. But, Herbert operated exclusively out of shotgun. If Herbert is unavailable for Monday, Trey Lance will make his first start for Los Angeles. In 12 games this season, Herbert has completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 2,842 yards with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Chargers’ first injury report of the week is due out later on Thursday.
