Chargers Placing Rookie Running Back Omarion Hampton on Injured Reserve
Rookie Omarion Hampton will miss at least four weeks after an ankle injury during Week 5, leaving Chargers’ running back depth weakened with Najee Harris also sidelined.
- On Sunday, Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton exited after suffering a left-ankle injury in the third quarter and was seen leaving the locker room in a walking boot.
- Hampton was inadvertently tripped by a Commanders defender with under two minutes left in the third quarter, and the timing is unfortunate as his production had picked up in recent weeks.
- Through five games, Hampton has 66 carries for 314 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 20 receptions for 136 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' offense.
- The injury deepens the backfield void because Najee Harris suffered a season-ending Achilles tear, so Los Angeles will turn to Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
- NFL reporting says tests are scheduled Monday to assess Hampton's injury, and Jim Harbaugh said he will go on injured reserve, missing at least four weeks with a possible Week 10 return.
