The Los Angeles Chargers will be without their top running back, Kimani Vidal, when they face the Houston Texans on Saturday. Vidal, 24, has been declared inactive due to a neck injury sustained in Week 16. Initially listed as questionable, he had logged a limited practice session this week. The Chargers are dealing with another blow after losing Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton to injuries earlier in the season. Hampton, who has returned, may now have to take on the majority of the workload. Vidal's absence will undoubtedly impact the team, which has seen significant contributions from the injured running back this season. He has 152 carries for 631 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. In the passing game, Vidal has 15 receptions on 21 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown. The Chargers' injury report also includes Derius Davis, Benjamin St-Juste, and others. Meanwhile, the Texans have their own list of inactive players, including Braxton Berrios, Graham Mertz, and Alijah Huzzie. The Chargers' depth chart reveals a few adjustments, with Ladd McConkey and others stepping in to fill the void left by Vidal's absence.
