The Chargers are currently short on running backs, prompting them to make roster adjustments ahead of tonight’s game against the Vikings.

Practice squad running backs Nyheim Hines and Jaret Patterson were both elevated to the active roster just four hours before kickoff. Prior to these moves, the Chargers had only two running backs on their 53-player roster: Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins.

With the additions of Hines and Patterson, the Chargers now have four running backs available for tonight’s matchup against the Vikings.

Notably, Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris—who would typically be the team’s top two running backs if healthy—are both currently on injured reserve.
