Chargers’ RB Omarion Hampton Wears Walking Boot After Sunday’s Loss
Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is in a walking boot following an ankle injury sustained during the team’s recent game. This injury occurred in the fourth quarter of the Chargers’ 27-10 defeat to the Washington Commanders. His condition has raised concerns about his availability for Week 6.
Impact of Hampton’s Injury
Hampton’s absence could significantly affect the Chargers’ running game. The team is already dealing with the loss of running back Najee Harris for the remainder of the season. Given this context, any extended recovery time for Hampton would leave the Chargers with limited options in the backfield.
Other Injury Concerns
The Chargers are facing multiple injury challenges on their offensive line. Key players who missed or were limited in the recent game include:
- Left tackle Joe Alt: missed the game due to an ankle injury.
- Right guard Mekhi Becton: returned from a concussion but sustained a hand injury during the game.
These injuries contributed to a struggling offense during the loss to Washington. The Chargers are now looking forward to their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins, hoping to return some key players to the lineup.
Upcoming Challenges
As the Chargers prepare to face the Dolphins next Sunday, they must address their injuries. The team is at risk of extending their losing streak to three games if they cannot recover quickly.
