The Chargers must have Omarion Hampton slotted to take on a huge role when he eventually returns.
As the trade deadline approached, there was much buzz surrounding the prospect of the Los Angeles Chargers striking a deal to bring in help for the backfield, especially given the, as of now, uncertain injury status of rookie running back Omarion Hampton.
Yet, the team ultimately only brought in offensive lineman Trevor Penning, and, in passing up on any number of running backs who might have been available, they have indicated a profound faith in rookie running back Omarion Hampton to become the team's lead rusher when he returns.
