The Los Angeles Chargers plan to sign running back Sony Michel, who was released by the Miami Dolphins earlier this week, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Michel, 27, will be playing in Los Angeles for a second straight season. Last season he played for the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams and was critical for them down the stretch after taking over as the team's starter in Week 13; his 540 rushing yards from Week 13 through Week 18 were the third most in the NFL.
He will join a Chargers backfield led by starter Austin Ekeler and including Joshua Kelley and Isaiah Spiller.
