• Isaiah Spiller: Let go from Bolts' practice squad

  08/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Chargers cut Spiller from their practice squad Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Spiller was added to the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday after he was unable to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2022 fourth-round pick will now look to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth. Spiller had 37 carries for 96 yards and six catches for 34 yards across nine regular-season games for the Chargers in 2023.

• Isaiah Spiller: Signed to Bolts' practice squad

  08/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Spiller signed with the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday. Spiller was the odd-man out as the Chargers opted for Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson on the 53-man roster as the depth running backs behind Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins. Rather than keep Spiller as the fifth running back, the Chargers instead claimed Hassan Haskins off waivers after he was let go by the Titans on Tuesday. Spiller will stick around with the Bolts on the practice squad, and the 2022 fourth-round pick should be a top candidate to be elevated for game day if any of the five running backs on the active roster were to miss time.

• Isaiah Spiller: Let go by Chargers

  The Chargers are slated to waive Spiller, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The 2022 fourth-rounder had been in contention with Kimani Vidal, Jaret Patterson and Elijah Dotson for a depth role in the backfield behind Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins, but Spiller is the odd man out ahead of Week 1. Once this week's cut-down dust settles, Spiller should either find his way on to another team's roster or end up with a practice squad slot.

• Chargers' Isaiah Spiller: Does little in loss

  01/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Spiller lost a yard on his lone carry and caught both of his targets for 10 yards in the 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. The Chargers struggled to get anything going on the ground as they averaged just 86 rushing yards on 24 carries across seven different ballcarriers. Spiller appears to have displaced Joshua Kelley as the team's No. 2 back behind Austin Ekeler considering Spiller played 12 snaps to Kelley's six, but the increase in playing time hasn't yielded much production for the 2022 fourth-round pick.

• Chargers' Isaiah Spiller: Increased production in loss

  Spiller recorded six carries for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos. Spiller had a season high in rushing yards and attempts, and out-snapped second-string running back Joshua Kelley by five. Considering the 22-year-old has only played in six games to date, it's unclear if the additional workload will be permanent moving forward, or just a one-week oddity. With Justin Herbert (finger) done for the season, the Chargers could experiment with the backfield in a variety of ways, but it seems unlikely Spiller will outright displace starting running back Austin Ekeler in the coming weeks.
