Omarion Hampton at practice before the Raiders game
The Los Angeles Chargers received a cautiously optimistic development ahead of their Week 13 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Running back Omarion Hampton is back in training in a limited capacity while recovering from a broken ankle. Hampton has been on injured reserve since October. He now feels ‘amazing’ and hopes to be ‘full go’ when he is officially activated.
Hampton’s potential return comes at a critical time for the Chargers. They struggled to find stability in their lineup after the season-ending injury to Najee Harris. Optimism is growing he could soon rejoin the lineup and provide much-needed support to an offense that has battled injuries all season.
The Los Angeles Chargers are off to a good start in 2025. They hold a 7-4 record and sit in second place in the competitive AFC West. They opened the year with 5-2 key wins over the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. Hampton flashed early before the injury. Meanwhile, the defense produced timely turnovers and stops. Despite a Week 11 setback against Jacksonville, the Chargers remain firmly in the playoff race as they enter a crucial stretch of divisional matchups.
For Hampton, his rookie season showed promise despite being hampered by injury. In five games, the Chargers running back posted 314 yards on 66 carries (4.8 yards per attempt). He also had two touchdowns, adding 20 receptions for 136 yards as a reliable outlet in the passing game. That early production highlighted his explosive dual-threat potential. As he works his way back to full health, the Chargers remain optimistic that Hampton can make a significant impact down the stretch.
