SAN DIEGO -- He has only participated in two practices for the San Diego Chargers, but new running back Ronnie Hillman says he’s up to speed with the playbook enough to play Sunday against the Houston Texans if called upon.
“I feel like I could go out there and perform,” Hillman said. “Playing with Phil (Philip Rivers), he could change the play in a split second, so just coming in and figuring out how they play is probably the biggest challenge.”
A member of the Denver Broncos for the first four years of his NFL career, Hillman said he’s also adjusting to being a teammate of a former AFC West rival in Rivers.
