What happened: The Los Angeles Chargers showcased running back Omarion Hampton during June minicamp as he returns from a season-ending ankle injury. The 2025 first-round pick appeared explosive in highlights shared by the team, signaling a return to full health.

Why it matters: Hampton is expected to be the centerpiece of the Chargers' rushing attack under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. His performance is a key indicator for a ground game looking to establish a dominant identity in the 2026 season.

By the numbers: Hampton was sidelined for the final 12 games of the 2025 season after suffering a fractured left ankle in Week 5.

What to watch: The Chargers will monitor Hampton's workload as the team prepares for training camp in July.
