Omarion Hampton will be sidelined for multiple weeks due to injury

The Los Angeles Chargers haven't had much luck when it comes to health for its top running back options.

First, Najee Harris, who was signed as a free agent during the offseason, suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles.

Two weeks later, former UNC football star Omarion Hampton suffered an ankle injury, one that will unfortunately land him on Injured Reserve.

Hampton appeared to sustain the injury on a fourth down play with 1:53 remaining in the third quarter of the Chargers' eventual loss to the Washington Commanders.
