Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton was sidelined as he injured his ankle late in the third quarter of his side’s Week 5 defeat to the Washington Commanders. It is now being said that Hampton, who was selected at No. 22 overall in the 2025 NFL draft, may need some more time to return to action.
According to USA Today, Hampton will be out until at least Week 10 due to the ankle injury. The outlet further noted that the rookie was placed on the injured reserve after Week 5, requiring him to remain sidelined for at least four games.
Hampton’s injury was a significant blow to the Chargers after running back Najee Harris endured a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in a Week 3 victory against the Denver Broncos.
