After the injuries to Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton, the Chargers are actively seeking running back help via trade and free agency due to injuries, according to NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.
Los Angeles has been calling teams to explore options for acquiring a running back, potentially a depth piece or a starter. Names mentioned in rumors include Saints’ Alvin Kamara and Jets’ Breece Hall, even though both reportedly wish to stay with their current teams.
Other names mentioned are Ravens’ Derrick Henry, Texans’ Dameon Pierce, Browns’ Jerome Ford, Ravens’ Keaton Mitchell, Rams’ Blake Corum, Titans’ Tony Pollard, Falcons’ Tyler Allgeier, and Dolphins’ Jaylen Wright.
The only running backs on the roster are Hassan Haskins, Kimani Vidal and Nyheim Miller-Hines, who was signed to the practice squad and promoted to the active roster on Saturday.
The trade deadline is November 4 at 1 pm PT.
