Overview
- The Chargers are expected to activate rookie running back Omarion Hampton from injured reserve for Monday night's game against the Eagles, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
- Hampton has not played since Week 5 because of a fractured ankle, and reports indicate his initial workload is likely to be limited.
- To create roster space, the team waived defensive tackle Naquan Jones, who appeared in eight games with 10 tackles, one tackle for loss, and a pass deflection.
- Defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia is also slated to come off injured reserve this week, increasing the squeeze on available roster spots.
- If Jones clears waivers, he could land on the practice squad, while Kimani Vidal's strong play at running back supports easing Hampton back into the rotation.
