Sunday's game against the Broncos was Vidal's first time being active this season. The Chargers drafted him in the sixth round, but he was stuck behind J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins on the depth chart.
The Chargers placed Edwards on injured reserve with an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's game, which gave Vidal an opportunity that he has cashed in on so far.
