Chargers' HC "Doesn't Know" if Najee Harris will Recover From Eye Injury for Training Camp

The Najee Harris plot thickens, and Harbaugh’s blunt assessment of the situation confirms the fears of Harris’ current and prospective owners: he may not be able to participate in training camp. While the team reportedly is still confident that Najee will be ready to go for the season opener in September, there’s no question that the door is now wide open for rookie first round RB Omarion Hampton to plant his flag as the Chargers clear RB1. It’ll take Hampton stacking good days in camp to truly solidify his spot atop the depth chart, but with oodles of extra reps available with Najee sitting out, Hampton should have no problem acclimating at a high speed as one of the most productive college RBs in the 2025 class. If Najee is able to return sooner rather than later in camp, there’s may still be hope for him and his fantasy value - but should the former Steeler miss most or the entirety of training camp, it’s unlikely that he begins the season with a fantasy-relevant workload (or ever gets to that point, especially if Hampton plays well).
