INGLEWOOD, CA – The Los Angeles Chargers are dealing with another injury.

Rookie running back Omarion Hampton injured his ankle during the second half. Hampton was in the Chargers' blue medical tent for a while in the third quarter. He then headed to the locker room.

The Chargers deemed Hampton questionable to return in the fourth quarter.

Hampton had 12 carries for 44 rushing yards at the time of his ankle injury. He also produced six catches for 26 yards.

The Chargers already lost veteran running back Najee Harris to a season-ending Achilles injury. Tackle Rashawn Slater is also out for the year due to a torn patella tendon and tackle Joe Alt is expected to miss a few weeks with an ankle injury.

Hampton came into Week 5 with a team-leading 270 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
