Impact Haskins and Vidal are next in line for backfield touches after Omarion Hampton (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, ensuring Hampton will miss at least four games. Haskins and Vidal played 14 snaps each on offense in the Chargers' 27-10 Week 5 loss to Commanders, during which Hampton got hurt. The Chargers will likely ride the hot hand at running back Sunday in a rotation that could also include Amar Johnson, if Johnson's elevated from the practice squad against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the most rushing yards in the league this season.

Could see expanded backfield role Haskins was on the field for 14 of a possible 67 snaps in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders, en route to carrying five times for 13 yards and catching his only target for two y...

Impact Meanwhile, fellow backup running back Kimani Vidal also logged 14 snaps, while carrying four times for 18 yards and catching his only target for one yard. However, with Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site relaying Monday that top back Omarion Hampton is in line to be placed on IR and miss at least four games with an ankle injury, Haskins and Vidal both figure to see added touches in that span, with Amar Johnson representing a possible practice squad elevation. Moreover, the team could add further backfield depth in the coming days, but for now the looming potential for an expanded workload makes Haskins worthy waiver of waiver wire consideration for those in need of RB help ahead of Week 6 action.

No bump in playing time Haskins played five offensive snaps and did not record an offensive stat in the 21-18 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Haskins played five offensive snaps compared to Kimani Vidal's two, but the backfield clearly belonged to rookie Omarion Hampton who put together another fantastic performance on virtually the entire workload. Haskins projects to be the short-yardage back if the Chargers opt for that route, but otherwise clearly isn't a relevant backup in this offense.

Solid showing against Saints Haskins took six carries for 33 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 receiving yards in Sunday's 27-13 preseason win over the Saints.

Impact Haskins wound up doubling fill-in starter Kimani Vidal's rushing totals with the exact same amount of carries Sunday. Both players are currently competing for backup roles behind projected starting options Najee Harris (eye) and Omarion Hampton. Haskins will look to build off of this solid performance when the Chargers take on the Rams in Saturday's preseason tilt.

Clear depth back during season Haskins finished the 2024-25 campaign with 34 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns across 120 offensive snaps. He also caught three passes for 49 yards and an additional score d...

Impact Haskins was reliably the team's third back behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, who both spent stints on injured reserve throughout the year. Rookie Kimani Vidal saw opportunities ahead of Haskins, particularly during Dobbins' four-week absence during Week 13-16, but the rotational hodgepodge of the four backs often saw Haskins ahead of Vidal by virtue of his prowess on special teams over the rookie. The former Titans fourth-round pick back in 2022 is on a team-friendly deal next season and could return as a depth piece in a backfield that could be completely reshaped with Dobbins an unrestricted free agent and Edwards due $3 million next season.

Draws work late Haskins rushed the ball 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders.

Impact J.K. Dobbins led the Chargers' backfield in the absence of Gus Edwards (ankle), but Haskins was used to run out the clock throughout the fourth quarter. Eight of his 12 carries came in the final nine minutes of game time, highlighted by a two-yard touchdown plunge -- his second trip to the end zone on the season. Haskins has played primarily on special teams, and that will likely remain the case in the wild-card round in a matchup against the Texans.

Season high in snaps Haskins recorded eight carries for 30 yards in the 40-7 drubbing of the Patriots on Sunday. He also caught his lone target for 10 yards.

Impact With Gus Edwards (ankle) sidelined, Haskins slid right into the bruising back's utility playing a season-high 27 offensive snaps. Part of that could be due to game script as the outcome was never really in question by halftime, but that same sequence could repeat itself once more against the Raiders in Week 18 with the Chargers playing for better playoff seeding.

Scores touchdown in win Haskins caught both of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the 34-27 win over the Broncos on Thursday.

Impact Haskins isn't know for his receiving prowess. In fact, Thursday accounted for the second-year back's first two receptions of the 2024 campaign and he has just 13 total across his career despite playing 216 offensive snaps total. While the 25-year-old showcased his impressive footwork juking out a Denver defender en route to 34-yard checkdown touchdown where he effectively went untouched, that type of result isn't likely to occur again.
