Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert took the podium at The Bolt on Day 1 of Chargers Training Camp.
Below are three takeaways from their media availability Thursday:
### **An update on Najee Harris**
Harbaugh provided an update on Najee Harris as camp kicked off in El Segundo.
The running back was officially placed on the **[Non-Football Injury List](https://x.com/chargers/status/1945872371514069124)** on Thursday morning after he "sustained a superficial eye injury" during a July 4 fireworks mishap, according to his agent, Doug Hendrickson.
And a day after Chargers General Manager **[Joe Hortiz](https://www.chargers.com/news/najee-harris-eye-rashawn-slater-contract)** said he expected the running back to arrive, Harbaugh confirmed he was in the building.
"Najee is here, he's in meetings," Harbaugh said. "It's great to have him."
Hortiz said Harris was seen Wednesday morning by doctors at Stanford and that all information had been relayed to Marco Zucconi, the Chargers Director of Player Health, Wellness & Performance.
While there is no timetable for when Harris can return to action, Harbaugh expressed his appreciation for everyone being back.
"A lot of gratitude that he's here," Harbaugh said. "Gosh, I'm the age of being a parent — I've got kids that are these guys' age. So, just the feeling of having everybody back under the same roof is a good one."
With Harris sidelined, it was first-round pick Omarion Hampton who took over the workload as the top running back during the first practice.
Hampton, who ranked second in college football over his last two years with 3,164 rushing yards, has impressed the coaching staff so far during the offseason program, but has a chance to do even more in the coming weeks.
Harbaugh expressed his excitement to see what Hampton can do with the pads coming on soon, as it will be a big step for the rookie.
"He's been attacking it, hitting it hard," Harbaugh said of Hampton. "Still got some days before we're in pads but I think he's going to be ever better in pads.
"Looked good without them," Harbaugh added. "He's well trained and ready to roll."
