Los Angeles Chargers leading rusher Kimani Vidal will miss Saturday's game against the visiting Houston Texans due to a neck injury.
Vidal was placed on the team's list of inactives prior to the contest. The running back was listed as questionable to play on Thursday.
Vidal missed two practices during the week before being a limited participant on Thursday.
Vidal has rushed for 631 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games this season, his second in the NFL.
Rookie Omarion Hampton (516 yards) figures to receive most of the workload against Houston's top-ranked defense. Hassan Haskins and Jaret Patterson are also available.
Guard Mekhi Becton (knee) is good to go. He also was listed as questionable on Thursday.
Joining Vidal on the inactive list are receiver Derius Davis (ankle), tight end Tyler Conklin, tackle Jamaree Salyer (hamstring), linebacker Kyle Kennard, cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (shoulder) and safety RJ Mickens (shoulder).
Houston left tackle Aireontae Ersery is inactive after undergoing thumb surgery earlier this week. He was listed as questionable on Thursday. Right tackle Trent Brown (ankle/knee) was ruled out earlier in the week.
Also inactive for the Texans are quarterback Graham Mertz, receiver Braxton Berrios, defensive end Solomon Byrd, linebacker Jamal Hill (calf/wrist) and cornerback Alijah Huzzie.
Houston can clinch an AFC playoff spot with a victory. If the Chargers lose, the Denver Broncos clinch the AFC West.
