Overview

• Rookie Omarion Hampton left the Week 5 loss to Washington with a left-ankle injury and did not return after being ruled questionable.
• He was seen postgame in a walking boot, a detail first reported by The Athletic’s Daniel Popper from the locker room.
• External medical analysts suggested the boot could be precautionary and that the injury may not be long-term, though no official diagnosis has been released.
• With Najee Harris already out for the season, Hassan Haskins is the only clearly healthy running back on the 53-man roster, with Kimani Vidal and Amar Johnson on the practice squad.
• Roster analyses indicate the Chargers are evaluating depth additions at running back, including free agents and potential trade targets such as Gus Edwards or Jamaal Williams.
