As the NFL trade deadline approaches rapidly, with the final buzzer set to sound at 4 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Chargers should be expected to be aggressive on the market given the sheer number of injuries they are attempting to account for.

Although the team won their Week 9 matchup against the Titans, 27-20, all rushers apart from Herbert combined for just 74 yards on the ground, and, as the team attempts to deal with injuries to both Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton, this poor performance served as a reminder of just how impactful a game-changing running back could be for this roster.
