The injury to Omarion Hampton immediately triggers alarm bells for the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of next week. Hampton now joins Najee Harris on the sideline, forcing immediate and severe adjustments to the team’s RB depth chart that will undoubtedly affect Justin Herbert’s offensive options.

The bad news was confirmed by the team’s head coach, as reported by Adam Schefter: “Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said RB Omarion Hampton will be placed on injured reserve, sidelining him a minimum of four games due to his ankle injury.”
