The Los Angeles Chargers added running back Ezekiel Elliott for the playoffs on the chance they needed help behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Elliott, though, had his Chargers debut hit a snag and he wasn’t active for the wild-card round loss to the Houston Texans.

Ohio State is looking to complete a dream College Football Playoff run Monday night, when the No. 8 seed faces off against No. 7 Notre Dame in the national title game. The Buckeyes enter the game as the hottest team in the country and as a heavy favorite to win the championship.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh knows what it's like to compete against Ezekiel Elliott, but the running back will be on his side heading

It appears hyped running back Ezekiel Elliott won’t make his Los Angeles Chargers debut during the NFL playoff game against the Houston Texans this weekend.

The Los Angeles Chargers decided to take a chance on Ezekiel Elliott, signing the former first-rounder to their practice squad. The Chargers already have a pretty crowded running back room composed of: J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal.

The vision was that things might change in a better offensive system with an apparent need at running back. Unfortunately for Zeke, who turns 30 in July, that dream has now died before it ever even got started.

The Chargers will not elevate Ezekiel Elliott from the practice squad when Los Angeles faces the Houston Texans in Saturday's AFC wild-card round game. The veteran running back was signed to the practice squad on Tuesday and had three practices.

The Chargers decided not to move Elliott up, instead promoting Jaret Patterson for the Wild Card game against the Texans. Elliott spent the 2023 season with the New England Patriots in a reserve role and then came back to the Cowboys, the team that drafted him at No. 4 overall in 2016.

The Dallas Cowboys should not draft a certain position in the first round because of need, but let the position come to them in the draft. The first round should be the best player available, someone who can help them win immediately.

The Marcus Freeman-led Fighting Irish have become a force to be reckoned with, boasting an impressive 14-1 record. Their road to the National Championship game included wins against Indiana, Georgia, and most recently, a nail-biter 27-24 victory over a talented Penn State Nittany Lions team.

The last time the Ohio State Buckeyes won the college football National Championship, they got an all-time rushing effort from running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott set championship game record with 246 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 36 carries.
