UPDATE: Hampton is listed as questionable for Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is dealing with a right ankle inversion sprain entering the postseason, though the injury is not related to the left ankle issue that previously sidelined him for multiple weeks earlier in the season.
Hampton did not play in Week 18, but the absence came as the Chargers rested several starters ahead of the playoffs rather than due to a setback. His current injury affects the opposite ankle and represents a new concern as Los Angeles prepares for its postseason matchup.
According to David Chao, Pro Football Doc, Hampton is expected to suit up despite not being at full strength. “The good news is it’s not the same left ankle that previously landed him on injured reserve,” Chao said. “The bad news is that this is a new injury — an inversion sprain of the right ankle.”
Chao added that Hampton will likely rely on rehab, taping, and a supportive spat to play through the injury, but cautioned that effectiveness could be limited. “It’s the playoffs, so he’s likely to play, but the question is at what percentage,” Chao said. “It won’t be 100 percent.”
Hampton’s health will be a key factor for the Los Angeles Chargers as they navigate a postseason matchup that already presents challenges along the offensive line.
