The Los Angeles Chargers decided to take a chance on Ezekiel Elliott, signing the former first-rounder to their practice squad. The Chargers already have a pretty crowded running back room composed of: J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal.

Here are five things to know about the newest Charger: Elliott is a three-time Pro Bowler who has also made a pair of All-Pro Teams (one First-Team and one Second-Team) in his NFL career. The 29-year-old has also twice led the NFL in rushing, doing so in 2016 and 2018 while in Dallas.

The Cowboys released Elliott on Dec. 31 ahead of the team’s season finale, ending his second stint in Dallas after appearing in 15 games this year. Elliott had originally been drafted by the Cowboys in 2015 and played eight years with Dallas before being released after the 2022 season.
