Overview

• The rookie running back left the 27-10 loss to Washington with a left-ankle injury in the third quarter and did not return.
• He was photographed in a walking boot after the game, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported he may miss some time pending evaluation.
• With Hampton out, Los Angeles rotated Hassan Haskins and practice-squad elevation Kimani Vidal at running back.
• The Chargers had already lost Najee Harris for the season to an Achilles tear, leaving limited backfield depth and potential short-term roster decisions if Hampton is sidelined.
• Hampton has 450 yards from scrimmage through five games, and some independent medical analysts suggested, based on video, the injury might not be long-term pending official results.
