Overview
- NFL Network reports Los Angeles will activate Omarion Hampton from injured reserve for Monday night, returning the rookie to a backfield that just produced 192 rushing yards against the Raiders.
- Justin Herbert is officially questionable after surgery to plate a fracture in his left hand, but he practiced in a limited capacity and is being prepared to play with pistol and shotgun usage emphasized.
- Coaches indicated most of the offense can operate from gun looks, though under‑center and some goal‑line concepts could be constrained while Herbert's non‑throwing hand heals.
- Trey Lance is staged for short‑yardage or goal‑line packages and would start if Herbert cannot go, according to team planning reported this week.
- The 8-4 Chargers face the 8-4 Eagles on Monday night with playoff positioning at stake, and Philadelphia has ruled out Jalen Carter for multiple weeks after shoulder procedures.
