SAN DIEGO -- Due to injuries, Branden Oliver has a total of 108 rushing yards over the last two seasons.
The Los Angeles Chargers running back hopes to finally stay healthy in 2017, earning a role as a complementary back to workhorse Melvin Gordon.
Oliver also has a new number: 32. It’s the same number he wore in college at Buffalo and was available once longtime safety Eric Weddle left for the Baltimore Ravens in free agency last offseason.
“A lot of guys, even defensive guys, think I’m a rookie sometimes,” joked Oliver.
