Kimani Vidal Expected to Lead Chargers Backfield in Week 18

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. With Omarion Hampton (ankle) remaining sidelined and expected to be held out of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Vidal is positioned as the best bet for touches in the Chargers' backfield. This development puts Vidal on the Week 18 radar, offering a potential opportunity for significant workload, despite the Trey Lance-led Chargers being 12.5-point underdogs in Denver.
