Another week, another potentially significant running back injury.\u00a0Omarion Hampton<\/a>\u00a0(ankle<\/a>) is the latest starting running back to get injured, joining\u00a0James Conner<\/a>,\u00a0Trey Benson<\/a>,\u00a0Chuba Hubbard<\/a>,\u00a0Jaylen Warren<\/a>, Tyrone Tracy,\u00a0Bucky Irving<\/a>\u00a0and Hampton’s own teammate\u00a0Najee Harris<\/a>\u00a0as notable ball carriers to pick up an injury. Hampton will miss at least the next four games after the Chargers placed him on injured reserve<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hampton’s isn’t the only ankle worth keeping an eye on.\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0Pro Bowl guard\u00a0Landon Dickerson<\/a>\u00a0suffered an ankle injury and did not return in the Eagles’ eventual loss to the\u00a0Denver Broncos. CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0Dickerson had his ankle wrapped and was limping postgame.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0are dealing with a pair of significant injuries: Cornerback Riq Woolen (concussion) and linebacker\u00a0Derick Hall<\/a>\u00a0(oblique) both got hurt in Seattle’s 38-35 loss to the\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the NFC West,\u00a0Kyler Murray<\/a>\u00a0left the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals’ game against the\u00a0Tennessee Titans\u00a0with a foot injury but was able to return shortly thereafter. However, the Cardinals\u00a0collapsed in a 22-21 loss<\/a>\u00a0to the previously winless Titans.<\/p>\n
