Trayveon Williams

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is out for Sunday s game vs. the Raiders. He returned to limited practices this week but isn t quite ready for game action yet. It was a good week, HC Jim Harbaugh said Friday. Really beneficial, ramping up. Everything s on track to return, not this week. RB Kimani Vidal is the only healthy RB on Los Angeles s active roster right now, with RBs Jaret Patterson, Amar Johnson, and Trayveon Williams on the practice squad. We ll see which of those guys are elevated on Saturday afternoon, but Vidal is in for strong volume in a good spot against the Raiders 25th-ranked RB defense.

Vidal "added" two catches for -1 yards in a contest where he suffered a first half thigh injury. Deemed questionable, he eventually returned but barely saw the field after the break as the Chargers stunningly could not sustain drives in Jacksonville. In his place, Trayveon Williams and someone named Amar Johnson "led" the Bolts' backfield. The only good news is, the Chargers now go on bye to heal up not only Vidal, but Omarion Hampton (ankle) as well. Hampton may very well finally be back following the open date. We, of course, would not recommend dropping Vidal until we get more information, but if you find yourself in a Week 12 roster crunch, it could perhaps be a justifiable gamble.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a thigh injury. The broadcast showed him walking the sidelines with his helmet on, but we'll see if he gets back in the game. Vidal's absence leaves the Chargers with RBs Trayveon Williams and Amar Johnson.
