The Chargers are signing running back Ezekiel Elliott, according to multiple reports. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media says Elliott will join the team’s practice squad.
The Cowboys waived Elliott last week, giving him a chance to join a playoff team as his career winds down.
Elliott finished this season with 74 carries for 226 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught 12 passes for 69 yards.
He played more than 14 snaps only once in his last eight games this season.
Elliott played his first seven NFL seasons with the Cowboys and returned this offseason after spending 2023 with the Patriots.
Both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards missed time with injuries late this season. Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal are behind them on the active roster.
