Omarion Hampton Still in Walking Boot, Unlikely to Return by Week 10

Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is still in a walking boot as of Thursday night, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper, indicating his ankle injury is persistent. While he is eligible to come off IR for Week 10, it appears unlikely he will be ready by then. This aligns with NFL Network's Mike Garafolo's earlier report that Hampton would likely miss more than the required four weeks. Current expectations suggest Hampton will remain sidelined through the Chargers' Week 12 bye. The rookie is still considered worth stashing in all fantasy leagues, with Kimani Vidal expected to continue as the lead back in his absence.
