Overview

  • Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Hampton will go on injured reserve with a left-ankle injury, requiring a minimum four-game absence.
  • Hampton left Sunday’s loss to Washington in the third quarter and was later seen in a walking boot after posting 44 rushing yards and 26 receiving yards.
  • Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal are set to handle most backfield duties, with practice-squad rookie Amar Johnson a candidate for snaps.
  • The first-round pick leads Los Angeles with 314 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 20 receptions through five games.
  • With Najee Harris already out for the season and key offensive linemen Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt sidelined, the Chargers visit Miami in Week 6 as Harbaugh evaluates in-house options and potential additions.
