Overview

  • Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed Monday that Hampton was placed on injured reserve after hurting his ankle in the Week 5 loss to Washington.
  • The first-round pick exited late in the third quarter and was seen in a walking boot before undergoing tests.
  • Hampton leads the Chargers with 314 rushing yards and two touchdowns through five games, adding 20 receptions for 136 yards.
  • With Hampton and Najee Harris unavailable, the backfield turns to Haskins and Vidal, with Amar Johnson on the practice squad.
  • Los Angeles continues to manage key injuries elsewhere, including Rashawn Slater’s season-ending knee issue, Joe Alt’s ankle sprain, and Khalil Mack on IR, as it enters a four-game stretch without its lead runner.
