Ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Giants, the Chargers are elevating two players to the game day roster: offensive tackle Foster Sarell and running back Kimani Vidal. Both of these moves make sense given the current state of the offense following the win over the Broncos in Week Three.
Running back Najee Harris was lost for the year with a torn Achilles, which means Vidal will inevitably become the team’s third running back on the roster, behind Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins. There’s a chance Vidal will see some snaps on offense against New York, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Hampton handles the majority of the backfield workload while Haskins gets limited touches to give him a breather.
As for the elevation of Foster Sarell, the Chargers are just one injury away at offensive tackle from needing serious support. Right tackle Trey Pipkins left the Broncos game on two separate occasions, and Sarell provides valuable depth as a swing tackle should Austin Deculus need to step in with the starting unit.
These roster moves highlight the Chargers’ proactive approach in shoring up depth on offense as they prepare for a challenging game against the Giants.
