• Chargers' Najee Harris: Season-ending injury feared

  09/22/2025 • By RotoWire

  Harris (Achilles) is expected to miss the rest of the season due to an injury sustained during Sunday's win over the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Coach John Harbaugh said after the game that the veteran running back would undergo imaging to confirm the severity of the injury, which is feared to be a torn Achilles. With Harris sidelined, rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton has an unblocked path to a workhorse role in the Chargers' backfield while Hassan Haskins projects to step into the No. 2 role, with 2024 sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal likely to be elevated from the practice squad for additional depth.

• Chargers' Najee Harris: Big jump in usage in Week 2

  09/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  Harris carried eight times for 28 yards and added two receptions for 20 yards on two targets in Monday's 20-9 win over the Raiders. After getting in limited practice reps in training camp and the preseason while recovering from a superficial eye injury, Harris took on a light role in Week 1, playing just 18 percent of the offensive snaps and logging two touches (one carry, one catch). However, the veteran poached more work from rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton in Monday's victory. While Hampton continued to pace the Chargers backfield in playing time with a 62 percent snap share, he mustered just 24 yards on eight carries and had one catch for one yard while also committing a late fumble as the Bolts tried to ice the game. Harris wasn't much more efficient, but he still nearly doubled up his snap share from the season opener, taking the field for 20 plays (34 percent). Hampton will likely continue to lead the backfield during Sunday's game against Denver, but Harris could see his snap share tick up a little more.

• Chargers' Najee Harris: Used sparingly Week 1

  Harris rushed once for five yards and secured his only target for another five yards during Friday's 27-21 victory over Kansas City. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said in advance of Friday's opener that Harris would play but that Omarion Hampton would draw the start, and the rookie ultimately handled a workhorse role. Hampton totaled 17 touches against the Chiefs' firm defensive front, rushing 15 times for 48 yards and securing both of his targets for 13 yards. Harris' backfield role could grow as he puts further distance between himself and the minor eye injury that forced him to sit out all of training camp and the preseason, but Hampton looks solidified as the starter in Los Angeles' backfield and projects to dominate touches again in Week 2 on the road against Las Vegas.
