3 running backs with Chargers ties that can replace Najee Harris

Najee Harris didn't miss a single game during his four-year tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then he signed with the LA Chargers and tore his Achilles in his third game to miss the rest of the 2025 season.

Harris was finally gaining some momentum in Los Angeles in the third game of the year before the injury. The veteran running back was meant to play a key role in the offense as a running mate alongside Omarion Hampton. Now, Hampton is left as the lone RB1 without a true 1-B.

Ideally, the Chargers will give 2024 draft pick Kimani Vidal a chance to blossom into a secondary ball-carrier for the Chargers.
