However, outside of Gordon, Los Angeles has a bunch of practice squad players (Kenneth Farrow and Andre Williams) backing up their star running back. That is not exactly encouraging; especially since Gordon has ended his first two years in the NFL on IR due to injuries. The Chargers lost Danny Woodhead to the Baltimore Ravens, and did not re-sign Branden Oliver this past off-season.
Anthony Lynn, Los Angeles’ new head coach, has publicly stated that he believes on using multiple running backs throughout the course of a game. And with his extensive experience with the running back position, Lynn is ultimately going to look into free agency and the NFL Draft to help add much-needed depth behind Gordon.
