Chargers Injury Updates: Omarion Hampton Out Until Week 13, Key Players Expected to Miss Steelers Game
The Los Angeles Chargers received mixed injury news ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Steelers. Rookie running back Omarion Hampton, who suffered an ankle injury in Week 5, has shown positive signs of recovery as he appeared at practice without a walking boot, although his practice window has not yet officially opened. Hampton is expected to be out until at least Week 13, with his return anticipated after the team's Week 12 bye. This leaves the Chargers with only one running back on the roster, making Hampton's eventual return a crucial boost for their offense. Meanwhile, the team is expected to be without key playmakers for the game. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin and quarterback Jayden Daniels are both dealing with injuries; Daniels has an elbow injury with no clear timetable for return, and McLaurin is likely to miss Week 10 due to a quad injury. Wideout Luke McCaffrey fractured his collarbone and is expected to miss the rest of the season. The Chargers' injury list also includes other players, but there is some optimism with the return of long snapper Josh Harris and cornerback Deane Leonard. Additional injury updates include Tucker Kraft of Green Bay tearing his ACL, ending his season after a breakout start, and tight end Matthew Golden being day-to-day with a shoulder injury. The Commanders face injury struggles as well, with quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin both sidelined, and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey out for the season. Conversely, the Rams' Puka Nacua is feeling optimistic about playing in Week 10 after rib scans. Overall, the injury situation is challenging for many teams, but some players like Quinshon Judkins of Cleveland are trending toward returning, while others like Kraft face season-ending setbacks. Fantasy football managers are adjusting lineups amid these developments, with some players trending up and others out for the season.
