Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, while RB Kimani Vidal (neck) was a full-go. We're expecting Hampton to be held out of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos, along with other key starters. It looks like Vidal will be available, though, leaving him as the best bet for touches in the backfield. That puts Vidal on the Week 18 radar, although it's tough to get excited about the upside with the Trey Lance-led Chargers 12.5-point underdogs in Denver.
