Chargers Activate Rookie RB Omarion Hampton for MNF vs. Eagles

The move follows a roster shuffle that included waiving nose tackle Naquan Jones.

Overview

  • Los Angeles officially activated the first-round running back from injured reserve a few hours before Monday night’s kickoff against Philadelphia.
  • Hampton returns from a left ankle fracture suffered in Week 5 after progressing from limited to full practice during his 21-day window.
  • Coaches are expected to ease him in on a snap count with a likely carry split alongside Kimani Vidal.
  • To create a 53-man roster spot, the Chargers waived defensive tackle Naquan Jones, who could return on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
  • Quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to play through a fractured left hand, with Trey Lance available for goal-line and short-yardage packages.
