Chargers Activate Omarion Hampton for MNF as Justin Herbert Listed Questionable

Herbert's left-hand surgery leaves his status in doubt for Philadelphia.

Overview

  • NFL Network reports Los Angeles will activate rookie RB Omarion Hampton from injured reserve for Monday night’s game, and he is expected to play.
  • The first-round pick fractured his left ankle in Week 5, returned to practice with a full session late this week, and moved out of a non-contact jersey.
  • Quarterback Justin Herbert is officially questionable after surgery to stabilize his non-throwing hand and participated on a limited basis in practices.
  • If Herbert is active, coaches have prepared shotgun and pistol usage with possible short-yardage or goal-line snaps for Trey Lance, according to team and league reports.
  • Kimani Vidal’s emergence with multiple 100-yard games points to a one-two backfield with Hampton in an 8-4 vs. 8-4 matchup that carries playoff implications.
