US EditionThe Los Angeles Chargers Are Close To Activating Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton, the Chargers' leading rusher before injury, could return to bolster the team’s running back depth for the final six games, including Sunday’s matchup vs. Raiders.
- On Nov. 25 the Los Angeles Chargers opened Omarion Hampton's 21-day practice window and designated him to return to practice at the El Segundo practice field Tuesday.
- After Week 5, Omarion Hampton suffered an ankle injury at SoFi Stadium when a Washington Commanders player fell on his leg; he had 314 yards and two touchdowns on 66 carries before the injury.
- Kimani Vidal has filled the RB1 role, rushing for 417 yards and two touchdowns over eight games while backups Jaret Patterson and Hassan Haskins struggled with injuries.
- Jim Harbaugh, Chargers head coach, said Hampton could return as early as Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but whether he plays will be decided in practice this week and he could aid the Chargers in five regular-season games.
- Adding Hampton would expand the Chargers' run game and aid Justin Herbert, but the team did not open a window for Hassan Haskins while also opening one for defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia.
