SAN DIEGO -- In a season where the Chargers have been ravaged by injuries, the team could be down to its No. 6 option at running back heading into the season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chargers announced Tuesday that the team officially placed undrafted rookie Kenneth Farrow on the injured reserve with a shoulder injury. San Diego already placed running backs Danny Woodhead, Branden Oliver and Dexter McCluster on the injured reserve earlier this year.
Starting running back Melvin Gordon, who is just 3 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard season, has missed the past two games due to a hip strain and knee sprain, and his availability is in question this week.
