Ezekiel Elliott Joins Chargers for Playoff Push

Ezekiel Elliott, previously of the Dallas Cowboys, has been signed by the Los Angeles Chargers to their practice squad, with a potential activation for the upcoming playoff game against the Houston Texans. The move comes after the Cowboys waived Elliott, allowing him to join a playoff contender, fulfilling his desire to compete for a Super Bowl. Elliott, a three-time Pro Bowler, struggled this season with a career-low performance, but his experience and blocking ability could support the Chargers' backfield, especially with current injuries to Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins. Despite his recent decline in performance, Elliott's veteran presence is expected to add depth and possibly impact the Chargers' playoff run. The Chargers, seeded No. 5 in the AFC, will face the Texans, and Elliott could provide crucial support if he is activated for the game.
