The Los Angeles Chargers have been plagued by injuries this season, but now they’re about to get one of their biggest names back.
The Chargers officially activated rookie running back Omarion Hampton off injured reserve Monday. Hampton, the Chargers’ 2025 first-round draft pick, has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 5. He was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 7 and had his 21-day practice window opened two weeks ago.

Hampton is expected to suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Hampton was selected 22nd overall out of North Carolina last April. He rushed for 314 yards and two touchdowns at a 4.8 yards per attempt clip through the five games he’s played.
The Chargers have lost both tackles, Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, among a spate of other injuries this season but are currently sixth in the AFC playoff picture at 8-4, though they need a win tonight to have any hope of catching the Denver Broncos in the AFC West race.
