FA Running Back #38
Detrez Newsome rushed six times for 34 yards in the Chargers’ Week 15 win over the Chiefs, adding two receptions for 19 additional yards.

An UDFA out of small-school Western Carolina, Newsome displayed some pop as Justin Jackson’s change-of-pace back. It was a nice showing, but Newsome figures to be a healthy scratch for Week 16, as both Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (concussion) are due back from injury.

FA Running Back #38
Chargers signed RB Detrez Newsome from the practice squad.

It suggests Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is on the wrong side of questionable. Newsome would be the No. 3 back behind Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson if Gordon is ruled out.
