Chargers to rest Herbert in finale; Lance to start
""Winning and health, being healthy, those are our two objectives," Harbaugh said. "And guys that we think -- the doctors, the trainers, myself, organization -- that have the most bruises and need that time the most, we've decided that's the direction we're going.""
""Health and winning. That's it," he said. "There's no way to predict. We're going on the road, first round. All potential teams would be good, and we'll get ourselves ready for that.""
Justin Herbert will not play and will not dress for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos after playing through a fractured left hand since Week 13. Trey Lance will start at quarterback, and practice-squad QB DJ Uiagalelei will be elevated to serve as the backup. Other starters could also be held out as doctors, trainers and the organization prioritize health and winning. The Chargers' loss to the Texans eliminated them from the AFC West title race; the finale affects only playoff seeding, with a win possibly earning the Chargers the No. 5 seed. Denver can secure the AFC's No. 1 seed with a victory.
