Chargers Expected to Activate Omarion Hampton for Monday Night vs. Eagles

The move reestablishes a two-back plan with Kimani Vidal that coaches have previewed.

Overview

  • ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports Hampton is expected to play, with the rookie upgraded to full practice after starting the week in a non-contact jersey.
  • He has missed seven games since a Week 5 left ankle fracture and averaged 4.8 yards per carry with two touchdowns before the injury.
  • The Chargers opened his 21-day injured reserve return window on Nov. 24, and he is officially listed as questionable for Monday.
  • Offensive coordinator Greg Roman anticipates a one-two punch with Kimani Vidal, who has three 100-yard games and 543 rushing yards this season.
  • Quarterback Justin Herbert is also questionable but trending toward playing, and the 8-4 Chargers face the 8-4 Eagles with playoff positioning at stake.
