COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Coach Brandon Staley, who has previously been firm that Austin Ekeler is the Chargers' top running back despite their rushing struggles, hinted that changes could be coming to the Los Angeles backfield.
"Competition for carries is going to be something that you can see happening," Staley said Wednesday. "We're going to keep exploring, making adjustments, so that we can find that rhythm that I've been talking about. That's certainly one way to do it."
The last time Staley mentioned there would be competition in a position group, it was the team's defensive backs, after the Chargers' Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
