INJURIES
Returns to practice Vidal (neck) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.
Impact Omarion Hampton (DNP - ankle) and Hassan Haskins (LP - head) are also on the injury report, after Vidal and Haskins missed Saturday's loss to Houston. Health won't be the only factor, as Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh already said QB Justin Herbert won't play this Sunday at Denver. Other starters may also be held out or pulled early.

Inactive Saturday Vidal (neck) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Texans, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Impact Vidal was listed as a non-participant in practice both Tuesday and Wednesday, before being estimated as limited on Thursday's report and questionable for Saturday's contest. With Vidal having been made inactive, added touches will be available for fellow RB Omarion Hampton, which boosts the 2025 first-rounder's Week 17 fantasy prospects, while Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson are available to mix in. Vidal's next chance to see game action will arrive in Week 18 when the Chargers travel to Denver for a game that may have major playoff seeding implications.

Questionable for Saturday Vidal (neck) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Texans after being listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice estimate.
Impact Vidal was deemed a non-participant both Tuesday and Wednesday, with the running back's estimated limited listing Thursday offering hope that he may be available this weekend. Look for added context regarding Vidal's Week 17 status to arrive late Friday or early Saturday, but if he's made inactive for the Chargers' 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, added touches would be available for fellow RB Omarion Hampton, with Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson on hand in reserve.

Remains sidelined Wednesday Vidal (neck) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Vidal also logged a 'DNP' on Tuesday, so what the running back is able to do Thursday -- if anything -- will be pivotal in terms of his chances of playing Saturday against the Texans. If Vidal is unavailable this weekend, Omarion Hampton would figure to be busy against Houston, with fellow RBs Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson in reserve.

Sits out practice Vidal (neck) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.
Impact Vidal was forced out late in this past Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys due to a neck strain and is being viewed as day-to-day ahead of the Chargers' Week 17 game Saturday versus the Texans. He'll need to upgrade to at least limited participation in practices Wednesday and Thursday to have a shot at playing this weekend.

Chargers will need to sustain offensive progress from win over Cowboys to be Super Bowl contenders

Few would mistake the Los Angeles Chargers for an offensive juggernaut this season, so their 34-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday represented a significant step forward
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • Associated Press
Day-to-day with neck strain Vidal has been diagnosed with a neck strain and is considered day-to-day, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Vidal was forced from Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys in the fourth quarter after he rushed five times for 11 yards on 21 offensive snaps. If Vidal is unable to play next Saturday against the Texans, Omarion Hampton would likely see a larger share of the backfield work, with Hassan Haskins spelling Hampton as the Chargers' RB2.

Surging Chargers defense is turning coordinator Jesse Minter into a hot head coaching candidate

There’s a good reason why Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter has been on those lists of prospective head coaching candidates all season long
DECEMBER 15, 2025 • Associated Press
Held in check Sunday Vidal rushed 12 times for 33 yards and brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Impact Vidal logged three fewer rush attempts than backfield mate Omarion Hampton and was a lot less efficient, averaging 2.8 yards per carry to his teammate's 4.1. Vidal did at least extend his streak of consecutive games with double-digit carries to three contests, and he figures to continue enjoying a relatively robust complementary role in a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday afternoon.

Chargers' Omarion Hampton, Kimani Vidal usage has huge effect on fantasy football The two-man backfield was telling on Monday night.
DECEMBER 10, 2025 • SI.COM
Split workload in win Vidal carried the ball 14 times for 44 yards in the 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles on Monday. He also caught one of his three targets for 60 yards.
Impact It's worth noting Vidal got the start in the primetime game, but the distribution of touches ended up being split right down the middle as the returning Omarion Hampton (ankle) also recorded 15 touches in the the contest. Vidal's fantasy day was salvaged by a simple checkdown in the first half, which the rookie exploded for 60 yards to set up a touchdown on the team's opening drive, but he was otherwise kept in check on the ground. It won't get much easier in Week 15 against a Kansas City team that will be playing for its playoff lives.

Impact It remains to be seen how heavy of a workload Hampton sees in his return, but his presence is destined to impact Vidal's volume going forward. In nine games to date, including seven as a starter after Hampton was injured in Week 5, Vidal has logged 121 carries for 543 yards and three TDs to go along with 13 catches on 17 targets for 63 yards and a receiving score. Either way, Monday night's snap counts and carry/target distribution will be telling with regard to Vidal's chances of maintaining a degree of fantasy utility down the stretch, with Hampton now back to reclaim his key role in the Chargers' backfield.
