"The Chargers' offensive front is pretty banged up, but it appears they'll get one of their top playmakers back for Sunday's wild-card game against the Patriots. Chargers running back Omarion Hampton told reporters that he plans to play on Sunday night despite being ruled questionable with an ankle injury. Hampton returned to practice on Friday after missing the first two practices this week, although he was seen wearing a large brace around his injured right ankle."
"Hampton emerged as a key player for the Chargers early on in his rookie season, rushing for 314 yards on 4.8 yards per carry through Los Angeles' first five games. However, the 2025 first-round pick suffered an injury to his left ankle that sidelined him for two months in October. Following his return, Hampton rushed for 231 yards on four yards per carry in four games before suffering the more recent ankle injury."
"Deculus was a full participant at Friday's practice, while Dupree was limited. The other three players the Chargers ruled as questionable for Sunday's game are largely depth players. That group consists of tight end Tucker Fisk, defensive back Elijah Molden, and linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips. Wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) and safety Kendall Williamson (ankle) are the only two players the Chargers have ruled out. Bot"
