Last season, Jackson had just 50 carries and ran for 206 yards. He saw extended action in games against the Arizona Cardinals, Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson had a total of 31 carries, 178 rush yards, and two touchdowns in those games. He still looked raw last season, but he has looked better during training camp.
Austin Ekeler will be the passing down back and is coming off a good season as well. So, if Gordon does continue to holdout, the Chargers have two reliable options to work with this season. Jackson would likely be the primary running back, with Ekeler serving as the passing back, so expect Jackson to get 15-20 carries per game.
