Omarion Hampton is on his way back.
After Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday that the team opened Hampton's 21-day practice window, the rookie running back was a limited participant on Wednesday.
"It feels good, feels great just to be back out with the guys. Couldn't ask for nothing better," Hampton said.
He later added: "I don't know a percentage, but I feel super good. I'm getting back to where I'm at. Getting more comfortable with it, so I feel really good where I'm at."
Harbaugh and Justin Herbert were excited to have Hampton back in the mix.
"Good to get him back on the field and start ramping up," Harbaugh said.
He later added: "Just going to really ramp up, see how the week goes. Good to get him back out there."
Herbert added: "He brings a different level of energy to our team and we saw how special he was early in the season. I know he's been battling to get back out there and doing everything he can, it's just good to see steps forward and to see him back out there."
Hampton can now potentially return for Sunday's home game against the Las Vegas Raiders, but his status will likely depend on how he fares this week at practice.
"They haven't told me yet, but I'm waiting to find out. Whatever my doc says," Hampton said. "I want to, for sure. But it's whatever the doc says."
Whenever Hampton does return, he said he's fired up to help the Bolts try and secure a playoff spot down the stretch.
"That would be amazing. We know that's the goal, the goal is a Super Bowl. It would be amazing to be a part of that and help my team," Hampton said. "I've been hurting sitting here and can't help my team. It's going to feel good to help my team a little bit more."
The Chargers rookie running back went on Injured Reserve after suffering an ankle injury in Week 5 against the Commanders. Hampton said Wednesday that he sustained a fractured ankle.
"It was just treatment every day, treating it right, making sure I got the stuff that I need, eating right. All the stuff I needed to recover," Hampton said.
He had been working off to the side in recent weeks, with Harbaugh noting earlier this month that his possible return could come after the bye week.
Hampton said Wednesday that he stayed mentally locked in over the past two months.
"Really staying in meetings, staying involved, staying with the team and being involved," Hampton said. "Whether that's in the meetings or at practice, watching everything, getting the mental part of it."

Hampton had been one of the Chargers most productive offensive players before his injury, tallying 86 total touches for 450 yards and two touchdowns.
"We think how he started out the season was tremendous. I thought he really gave us a real hand," Chargers Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman said Wednesday. "I go back to the Denver game, but really every game, the Giants game. He just kept getting better, and better, and better.
"We'll see how it goes as far as the medical, that's not up to us that's up to our trainers and medical staff. They'll make a good decision of when that happens. Can't wait to get him back," Roman continued.
"Not only will he help us, but in terms of him being out there, his development, you saw him get better and better each week," Roman added. "Playing experience is important for that, there's no substitute for it. His development, you just can't wait to get him out there."
Overall, the 22-year-old has 66 carries for 314 yards and a pair of scores so far on the ground.
"I feel like I was getting a little comfortable," Hampton said. "I feel like that's just the beginning, I got a lot more to do, to learn and get better at. I haven't reached my full potential yet."
Kimani Vidal was solid over the past six games with 417 rushing yards and a pair of scores as he filled in as the Bolts top running back.
"He's been doing amazing, he's been doing great," Hampton said. "Me and him talk all the time about what's going on out there, how he's feeling, what he sees. It's been amazing watching him play and go crazy."
Najee Harris is out for the season with an Achilles injury and Hassan Haskins is still on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury.
The Chargers also opened the 21-day practice window for defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia, who hasn't played since Week 7 with an elbow injury.
