A devoted Orlando Magic fan, he deftly balances fervent fandom with insightful reporting, possessing a keen eye for compelling narratives.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Los Angeles Chargers</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Los Angeles Chargers announced Saturday, <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1855356875308474681" rel="noopener">via ESPN’s Tom Pelissero</a>, that they have activated running back Gus Edwards from Injured Reserve, a strategic move ahead of their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-jim-harbaugh-doubles-down-justin-herbert-praise">Week 10 matchup against the 2-6 Tennessee Titans</a>. Edwards’ return bolsters the Chargers’ ground game as they seek to build on their 5-3 season record.</p><p>Edwards, who joined the Chargers this season, has only appeared in four games due to injury. In those appearances, he managed 113 rushing yards on 38 attempts, alongside a two-yard reception. Known for his power and consistency, Edwards has been a valuable asset since his NFL debut in 2018. Over his career, he’s amassed 3,508 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns on 737 attempts. In addition to his ground game contributions, Edwards has also been a capable receiver, with 31 receptions for 376 yards. His playoff experience, which includes seven games and two starts, adds further depth, with 250 total yards from scrimmage recorded in postseason action.</p><p>The Chargers’ decision to activate Edwards signals an emphasis on strengthening their offensive options for the second half of the season. The veteran running back’s experience could help alleviate pressure on quarterback Justin Herbert and add a powerful dynamic to an offense that has seen ups and downs throughout the year.</p><h2><b>Chargers activate Gus Edwards, bolster depth ahead of Week 10 Titans matchup</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Gus-Edwards-4-carries-the-ball-against-Kansas-City-Chiefs-linebacker-Drue-Tranquill-23.jpg"><figcaption>© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In addition to activating Edwards, the Chargers made several other roster moves aimed at shoring up depth across key positions. The team designated tight end Tucker Fisk for return and signed him to the active roster from the practice squad. Fisk, known for his blocking and versatility, could play an essential role in both run and pass protection as the Chargers’ offense looks to stay balanced.</p><p>Cornerback Eli Apple and outside linebacker Caleb Murphy were elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Titans. Apple’s experience in the secondary adds stability to the Chargers’ defense, while Murphy’s promotion brings additional pass-rushing capability. These elevations provide the Chargers with flexibility and added depth, addressing some of the defensive challenges the team has faced this season.</p><p>The Chargers also announced the signing of tight end McCallan Castles to their practice squad. Castles, though relatively new to the NFL, brings promising potential and could serve as a developmental asset for Los Angeles as they continue to reinforce their depth in the tight end position.</p><p>With these roster adjustments, the Chargers appear focused on creating a balanced and adaptable lineup as they approach the critical midpoint of the season. Edwards’ activation, in particular, stands out as a calculated decision to reinforce the running back position, giving Los Angeles an experienced player who can impact both short-yardage and third-down situations. As the Chargers face the Titans, the team will look to leverage these moves to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-chargers-win-browns-proves-true-playoff-threat">maintain momentum in a highly competitive AFC playoff race</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At the beginning of the year, quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-justin-herbert-injury-update-week-6">Justin Herbert had a high-ankle sprain</a> from which he’s still recovering. Also, safety Derwin James is set to come back after serving a two-game suspension from the NFL regarding safety violations. Despite the carousel of players in and out of the lineup, Edwards and Samuel’s absence is more significant.</p><h2><b>Gus Edwards and Asante Samuel Jr. injuries prove Chargers’ resiliency</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Chargers-deal-with-injuries-to-Gus-Edwards-and-Asante-Samuel-Jr.jpg"><figcaption>© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Edwards is one part of the two-man backfield between him and JK Dobbins. His production took a massive dip after <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/EdwaGu00.htm" rel="noopener">having 29 carries for 85 yards</a> in the first two games. He had 28 rushing yards combined against the Steelers and the Chiefs. While those two have stout defenses, Edwards is a bruising tailback and can wear out defenses with his physicality.</p><p>Despite this, Dobbins has taken on a bulk of the work even with Edwards being the bruiser. He’s had over 10 carries in every single game, with his highest being 17 against the Carolina Panthers. The ability to effectively get big-chunk yards and score has paid dividends.</p><p>On the other side of the ball, the Chargers have excelled. They allow the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sdg/2024.htm" rel="noopener">fewest points per game</a> (12.5) in the league. Samuel Jr. has been a big part of that, with having two pass deflections on the season. He’s also started all four games at the cornerback position for Los Angeles. Along with Samuel Jr, both Kristian Fulton and Elijah Molden have each had one interception on the season. Also, Fulton has three pass deflections and has made his mark as a legit ballhawk.</p><p>The young Chargers secondary will lose an experienced player for four games. Offensively, head coach Jim Harbaugh will lose one-half of his two-headed monster in the backfield. Regardless of that, they will be without two of their key pieces on both sides of the ball. Fortunately, though, they’re squaring off against the Broncos’ rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who is prone to making some mistakes.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Justin Herbert is a talented enough quarterback that he can turn many receivers into potential Pro Bowlers, if given the right play calls and a strong enough running game to keep opposing defensive ends and rush linebackers off of him.</p><p>How Edwards and Dobbins run behind a remixed Chargers offensive line could determine whether Los Angeles finishes with an offense in the top or bottom half of the NFL. Considering that both guys know each other’s strengths, weaknesses and tendencies so well, don’t be surprised if each plays above their capabilities and becomes a successful player in 2024-2025 for Coach Harbaugh’s team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Originally from the small town of Elba, New York, Sonny received his degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and currently resides in Naples, Florida</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>After spending nine seasons as the head coach of the University of Michigan, Jim Harbaugh is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-jim-harbaugh-hired-head-coach-michigan">back in the NFL</a>, back on the west coast, and back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-coach-jim-harbaughs-epic-super-bowl-reason-for-leaving-michigan-to-return-to-nfl">in the hunt for the Super Bowl title</a> that eluded him during his four seasons as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. But before the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh could achieve their Super Bowl dreams, Harbaugh needs to work his way through a training camp in which he’ll be required to cut his roster down from 90 players to 53. That’s a whole lot of new faces that the long-time head coach needs to familiarize himself with.</p><p>So with that said, it’s understandable that the lines of communication between Jim Harbaugh and some of his new players may be crossed. Take for example, veteran running back Gus Edwards, who  after rushing for a career-high 810 yards and 13 touchdowns last year with the Baltimore Ravens, had offseason knee surgery… or actually, maybe he didn’t?</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">After saying Wednesday that RB Gus Edwards had offseason surgery, Jim Harbaugh said today that Edwards didn’t have surgery.</p><p>Harbaugh didn’t specify the injury Edwards has but said that he is “being brought back into play.” <a href="https://t.co/5TGJ88ztba">pic.twitter.com/5TGJ88ztba</a></p><p>— Kris Rhim (@krisrhim1) <a href="https://twitter.com/krisrhim1/status/1817401188788420846?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 28, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Alright, so we’ve settled on “no offseason surgery” for Gus Edwards, but even still, his availability throughout the start of Chargers training camp has remained a question mark. Edwards has sat out team drills on multiple occasions over the last week, paving the way for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-running-back-jk-dobbins-blunt-message-amid-achilles-injury-recovery">former Ravens teammate</a> JK Dobbins — who is returning from an early season achilles tear last year — to take the majority of the first team reps. But there are three other running backs — rookie Kimani Vidal, big-bodied third-year back Isaiah Spiller, and former University of Buffalo standout Jaret Patterson — on the roster who could end up in LA’s rotation of rushers, and the ground attack will be a point of emphasis this year.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Gus-Edwards-taking-a-handoff-at-Chargers-practice-1-1024x574.jpg"><figcaption>© Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Chargers to emphasize a physical rushing attack </b></h2><p>Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz spent two-and-a-half decades in the Baltimore Ravens organization, so it’s understandable why two of his first offseason signings were former Ravens running backs. Not only did Hortiz have familiarity with both JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards, but in Baltimore, the standard has long been about playing a physical brand of football. That jives with what Jim Harbaugh wants to accomplish as well.</p><p>During Jim Harbaugh’s four years as the head coach of the 49ers, San Francisco ranked no lower than 9th in rush attempts per game. At Michigan, the Wolverines played a similar smash mouth style, particularly over their last three seasons as the top team in the Big Ten. Each of those last three years, Michigan had at least 13 more rushing attempts per game than passing attempts.</p><p>The Chargers will certainly give Justin Herbert the opportunities to cut it loose. After all, Herbert has been exceptional through four seasons as the Chargers starting quarterback, and no QB in the history of the NFL has thrown more pass attempts per game than Herbert has. But in time, the Chargers will embody the approach of Harbaugh and Hortiz even more than they will this year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now, Coach Harbaugh and Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz have decided to add another big-time running back to the fold in the City of Angels, formerly of the Ravens, in JK Dobbins.</p><p>The news came amid the Ravens’ signing of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-sign-former-all-pro-punt-returner-latest-lamar-jackson-weapon">former All-Pro</a> punt returner.

Jim Harbaugh prefers a run-heavy attack with an element of plays designed for quarterbacks in the running game and his offenses often feature a bevy of tall and athletic tight ends.</p><p>The Chargers’ defense will be led by Jesse Minter, a rising star in the defensive coordinator ranks who prefers press coverage and versatile defensive backs who can cover, have length, and are sure tacklers. It all begins on April 25 in the Motor City; Detroit, Michigan.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
