Chargers' Russell Hansbrough: Promoted to Chargers' 53-man roster
The Los Angeles Chargers promoted Russell Hansbrough from the practice squad Friday, Mike DiGiovanna of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.The transaction is a strategic move in the event Melvin Gordon is unable to play Sunday against the Raiders. Listed as questionable for the regular-season finale, he likely would cede snaps to Branden Oliver and potentially Hansbrough, if active, because the cast on Austin Ekeler's left hand is containing him to special-teams work at the moment.

Buccaneers' Russell Hansbrough: Impressive in brief stint Saturday
Russell Hansbrough (concussion) rushed four times for 28 yards in Saturday's 13-9 preseason loss to the Browns.The backup running back notably out-snapped fellow reserve Jeremy McNichols by an 8-2 margin, with the latter getting pulled after missing a blocking assignment that led to a sack. Hansbrough gained all but one of his yards on one run, so his final line was a bit misleading. Nevertheless, he presumably remains in the mix for a spot on the final roster entering the exhibition finale, although Peyton Barber appears to have the inside track if the Bucs opt to keep four backs for the time being.
