With Austin Ekeler expected to sit out Saturday’s exhibition against the Rams, the backup running backs will get a chance to show what they’ve accomplished
COSTA MESA — The scene was repeated again and again during the first 12 sessions of the Chargers’ training camp at Jack Hammett Sports Complex: A quarterback would take a snap from a center, turn and hand or pitch the ball to a running back and the play would come to a screeching halt.
Now, finally, there will be a chance to see what strides the Chargers’ running backs have taken since the start of camp July 26. They’ll get a chance to show what they’ve accomplished so far and what needs to be improved as camp continues through the end of the month. To be sure, much of the coaching staff’s evaluation of the backs is ongoing, based largely on what’s happened in camp. Saturday’s exhibition provides a chance for the running backs to show all their skills, especially while running with the football in their hands while in close quarters.
Kelley won the job as the Chargers’ No. 2 back behind Ekeler last season, rushing for 287 yards and two touchdowns on 69 attempts over 13 games in his third NFL season after he was drafted in the fourth round out of UCLA in 2020. Spiller, a rookie last season, had 41 yards on 16 carries in six games.
