Chargers elevate 2 players ahead of date with Giants

The Chargers are elevating OT Foster Sarell and running back Kimani Vidal for Sunday’s game.

Ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Giants, the Chargers are elevating two players to the game day roster in offensive tackle Foster Sarell and running back Kimani Vidal.

Both of these moves make since with the current state of the offense following the win over the Broncos in Week Three. Running back Najee Harris was lost for the year with a torn achilles which means Vidal will inevitably become the team’s third running back on the roster behind Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins.

There’s a chance Vidal does see some snaps on offense against New York, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if Hampton eats up a lot of the backfield work while Haskins gets what little scraps come with giving him a breather.

As for the Sarell elevation, the Chargers are just one injury away at offensive tackle from needing some serious help. Right tackle Trey Pipkins left the Broncos game on two different occasions and Sarell provides aid at swing tackle should Austin Deculus have to step in with the starting unit.
