The Chargers will not elevate Ezekiel Elliott from the practice squad when Los Angeles faces the Houston Texans in Saturday's AFC wild-card round game. The veteran running back was signed to the practice squad on Tuesday and had three practices.

The Los Angeles Chargers decided to take a chance on Ezekiel Elliott, signing the former first-rounder to their practice squad. The Chargers already have a pretty crowded running back room composed of: J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal.

The 9-year veteran saw career-low numbers in every major category and was finally released Dec. 31 so that he might sign with a contender.

There's no denying that Ezekiel Elliott isn't the same player that he was from 2016-2021 with the Dallas Cowboys. The former Pro Bowler hasn't been as impactful over the last few years, due to multiple factors.

Ezekiel Elliott was on the practice field for the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday, after the veteran running back was signed to the practice squad.

Just five days before the Dallas Cowboys played their season finale, three-time Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott asked to be released with the hope of latching on with a playoff-bound team to chase a Super Bowl ring.

Elliott is joining the Chargers’ practice squad just a few days before they face the Texans in an AFC wild-card playoff matchup.

The Los Angeles Chargers are planning to sign running back Ezekiel Elliott to their practice squad pending a physical.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the team is signing former Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott to their practice squad. He adds that the Chargers, "hope that [he] gets up to speed quickly."

For the third game in a row, the Los Angeles Chargers have elevated safety Eddie Jackson from their practice squad to active status. This time, the former Alabama defensive back will be up for the second playoff game of his career.
