Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Emerges as lead back in win
Vidal carried the ball 18 times for 124 yards and also caught three of his four targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in the 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Despite reports earlier this week Vidal and Hassan Haskins would be a part of a committee, the second-year back proved definitively he was the more explosive player by tallying 138 total yards on 21 touches to Haskins' 23 yards on seven opportunities. Omarion Hampton (ankle) is expected to be out at least a month, and while the Chargers have reportedly been sniffing around available options according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Vidal's massive outing might quiet the trade calls for another week. It's worth noting Miami's run defense is one of the worst in the league, and it should be tougher sledding at home against the Colts next week.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Part of committee with Haskins
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Thursday that Vidal and Hassan Haskins will both factor in significantly Sunday against the Dolphins, but neither is viewed as the clear lead back, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Vidal was signed to the active roster Wednesday off the Chargers' practice squad, taking the roster spot that the team cleared by placing Omarion Hampton (ankle) on IR. Haskins and Vidal each played 14 snaps on offense in the Chargers' 27-10 Week 5 loss to Commanders, during which Hampton was injured. It sounds like both healthy running backs will have opportunities to capitalize on Sunday's favorable matchup against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL this season. Amar Johnson and/or Nyheim Hines could also factor into the backfield mix if elevated from the practice squad.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Signed to roster
The Chargers signed Vidal to their active roster Wednesday.
He'll take the place of Omarion Hampton, who was placed on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Commanders. Vidal and Hassan Haskins formed a near 50/50 split on the next drive, with Vidal then taking over on the final series once Justin Herbert and other starters had been pulled. Vidal was a practice-squad promotion for Weeks 4 and 5 -- after Najee Harris suffered a season-ending injury -- but will now reside on the active roster and have a role in the Week 6 game plan against a struggling Miami defense.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Could help fill in for Hampton
Vidal reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.
After being elevated for Week 5 Vidal logged 14 snaps in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders, carrying four times for 18 yards and catching his only target for one yard. Meanwhile, fellow running back Hassan Haskins also logged 14 snaps, carrying five times for 13 yards and catching his only target for two yards. With Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reporting that top back Omarion Hampton is slated to go on injured reserve and miss at least four games with an ankle injury, Vidal and Haskins both are expected to see added touches in the weeks to come. The Chargers could also look to add backfield depth in the coming days, but in the meantime, the looming possibility of an expanded workload makes Vidal -- who appears destined for either another elevation or an active roster spot Week 6 -- a worthy waiver-wire target for those in need of help at running back.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Elevated to active roster
The Chargers elevated Vidal from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
Vidal is expected to serve as Los Angeles' No. 3 running back behind Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins for the second straight week. Vidal didn't see any touches on offense in the Week 4 loss versus the Giants but did return one kickoff for 25 yards and will likely have a similar role against Washington. The Chargers will be eligible to elevate him just one more time this season before needing to sign him to the active roster.

Kimani Vidal: Reverts to practice squad
Vidal reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Vidal was elevated to the Chargers' active roster for Week 4 following Najee Harris' season-ending Achilles injury in Week 3 against the Broncos. Vidal saw the field for seven snaps (two on offense, five on special teams) and was the firm RB3 behind Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins. Vidal did log one kickoff return for 25 yards and would likely reprise that role were he to be elevated by the Chargers again this season.

Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Returns to active roster
The Chargers elevated Vidal from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
With Najee Harris suffering a torn Achilles in the Chargers' Week 3 win over the Broncos, Vidal's elevation adds much-needed depth to the team's backfield. The 2024 sixth-round pick from Troy appeared in 10 games for Los Angeles in 2024, recording 217 yards and one touchdown on 48 offensive touches (43 carries and five receptions). He's expected to play behind Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins in a Week 4 matchup against the Giants.

Kimani Vidal: Back to practice squad
The Chargers signed Vidal to the practice squad Wednesday.
Vidal couldn't earn a spot on Los Angeles' initial 53-man roster entering Year 2, but the 2024 sixth-round pick will stick around in an emergency reserve role on the practice squad. Across 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2024, Vidal rushed just 43 times for 155 yards (3.6 YPC) and zero touchdowns. He also secured five of nine targets for 62 yards and one score.

Kimani Vidal: Waived by Bolts
The Chargers waived Vidal on Tuesday.
The 2024 sixth-rounder entered training camp in the mix for a depth role behind Najee Harris (eye) and rookie Omarion Hampton. Vidal wasn't the most efficient runner across three preseason games, finishing with 25 carries for 69 yards (2.8 YPC) and two touchdowns. With Harris expected to be activated off the NFI list and Hampton slated to see a meaningful workload out of the backfield, Vidal ultimately lost out to Hassan Haskins for the third and final RB roster spot on the Chargers' 53-man roster. Vidal turns 24 years old Thursday and has just one NFL season under his belt, so he should garner interest on the waiver wire from teams looking to add depth at running back.
