From the video

with Herbert's hand >> and Herbert's hand made it >> double whammy... they're trying to protect Herbert, although not enough to like sit him... You run the ball... if you're hoping for the matchup to kind of drive Herbert having a higher ceiling than he's shown, we need them to kind of probably be pushed to it. But at least this isn't an offense I would say is more capable than recent weeks

Broken hand and OL issues force run-heavy approach; limits Chargers passing upside.

Playing with a broken hand, which combined with the Chargers' offensive line issues, is forcing the team into a run-heavy offensive approach to protect him; this limits passing volume and upside for Chargers pass catchers despite facing a favorable matchup against the Cowboys. The source notes that if hoping for the matchup to drive Herbert's ceiling higher than recent weeks, the offense would need to lean on pass catchers, but the overall offense is not more capable than recent weeks, limiting upside.
