Chargers Rookie RB Omarion Hampton Expected to Return from Ankle Injury vs Eagles

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is trending toward playing on December 11, 2025, in the team's upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles after recovering from a left ankle fracture sustained in early October. Hampton missed seven games but returned to practice wearing the yellow non-contact jersey used to designate players progressing through injury rehab.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh listed Hampton as a full participant following final practice on Saturday, and team officials labeled him "ready to contribute" if cleared by medical staff. The Eagles defense, known for its disciplined front seven, will present Hampton with a stiff workload in his expected return. NFL analysts say Hampton's ground-game presence could provide the Chargers with a much-needed spark and diversify offensive looks for quarterback Justin Herbert.
