Things just got extremely rough for the Chargers with rookie running back Omarion Hampton being placed on IR after suffering an ankle injury Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Hampton will miss at least the next four weeks of the season.
Two weeks prior against the Denver Broncos, Najee Harris suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. Both starting running backs are now injured for the Chargers, leaving the team in a precarious situation.
The running backs currently active and healthy are Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal. The sky has quickly become a lot more grey for Chargers fans only five weeks into the season.
