Chargers RB Omarion Hampton Active for Wild Card Game Despite Ankle Injury

Chargers rookie RB Omarion Hampton was active for the Wild Card game against the Patriots, despite tweaking his right ankle in Week 17. The 2025 first-rounder, who was a limited participant in practice Friday and wore an ankle brace, was expected to operate at less than 100% effectiveness and split workload with Kimani Vidal. In nine regular-season games, Hampton tallied 545 rushing yards and four touchdowns, along with 32 receptions for 192 yards and one receiving touchdown.
