For the Los Angeles Chargers, their season has largely been defined by the brutal injury struggles they've experienced, and almost no injury has been more impactful than that of rookie running back Omarion Hampton, who has not played since Week 5 with an ankle injury.
Yet, as Hampton's return is seemingly impending, the Chargers have a serious silver lining to pull from his absence. Kimani Vidal has broken out, and, with both of them in the backfield, Los Angeles will yet again have a formidable duo to help propel their offense.
Vidal has been a surprising performer for the Chargers this season, having amassed 543 yards on 121 rushing attempts through the nine games in which he has played and having shown an ability to break loose for explosive plays throughout the course of a game.
