NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported the Chargersare promoting Troymaine Pope from the practice squad, per a source informed of the move.
The move comes as starter Melvin Gordon's status remains up in the air. Gordon has been pushing to play after missing the last two weeks due to a knee injury. Promoting Pope suggests the team might play it safe and keep Gordon out another week.
Pope, 25, has bounced around the NFL, taking 12 carries in 2016 with the Seahawks and Jets.
If Gordon doesn't play, rookie Justin Jackson is in line to carry the load. Fellow rookie Detrez Newsome would likely play backup, with Pope adding depth.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.
J Jacks looks to excel on a big Thursday night stage. He has the skillset and mindset to be very productive tonight. Look for him to get 125+ scrimmage yards and get to the end zone.
Please dont get cute with gameplan Whiz and pass 50 times. Balance football keeps Mahomes off the field and go for TDs in endzone and we can finally win @KC
Really geeked up for this game. They need to rest Gordon, unless he is 100%. Chiefs run D is brutal and Jackson showed flashes against Pitt. Looking for a big game from James today. The amount of growth he has shown has been amazing.
Stephen A. Smith rings up 4 mistakes in a wildly inaccurate Chargers-Chiefs preview
Smith wildly misses the markHenry, who we should note is indeed a tight end for the Chargers, has been out all year with a torn right ACL.Johnson was certainly a guy to keep an eye on.
From 2005 through 2017. He left the Chiefs in February, signed with the Oakland Raiders, and has since been released.
