Good morning, Chargers fans!
It took most of the 2021 season for a running back not named Austin Ekeler to do much of anything to help the team. But when the team needed someone to step up, the oft-injured Justin Jackson came through in a big way.
After seeing what JJ did when given the opportunity, it’s easy to think the Chargers may have figured out their backup ball-carrier situation, but it isn’t ever that easy. As I said, Jackson has had one of the worst streaks of injury luck in the team since he was drafted in the seventh round back in 2018.
