Chargers' Detrez Newsome: Hits paydirt Thursday
Detrez Newsome rushed six times for 26 yards and a touchdown, adding 32 yards on two receptions in Thursday's preseason win over San Francisco.Newsome had a strong showing as he vies for a spot on the 53-man roster. Troymaine Pope (three carries for 43 yards) was also impressive, but the fact Newsome was out there with the "starters" in the final preseason contest gives him a slight edge in winning the third back job (assuming Melvin Gordon's contract dispute doesn't get settled before Week 1).

Chargers' Detrez Newsome: Little impact in preseason loss
Detrez Newsome carried the ball five times for 17 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Saints.The second-year back didn't look hampered by the minor leg injury he suffered in practice last weekend, but Newsome also didn't do much to make a positive impression on the coaches, posting pedestrian numbers for the second straight game. Troymaine Pope, however, did, ripping off an 81-yard score on a punt return. Even if Melvin Gordon's holdout drags on into the regular season, if the Week 1 roster allows for only one other running back behind Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson, Newsome may need to find a way to make an impact in the Los Angeles Chargers' remaining exhibition tilts to hang onto his spot.

Chargers' Detrez Newsome: Heightened expectations in 2019
Offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt expects Detrez Newsome to take a step forward in his second season, Ricky Henne of the Los Angeles Chargers' official site reports.Newsome beat the odds and somehow made the leap from going undrafted out of Western Carolina in 2018 to making the Chargers' 53-man roster out of training camp. He was only active for 10 games (including playoffs) and and only logged an offensive snap in four of them, but Newsome showed he could be a useful backup Week 15 against the Chiefs, when he parlayed eight touches into 53 yards. While there are only so many carries and targets to go around behind Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson, no other significant running backs were added to the roster this offseason. As a result, Newsome looks like the early favorite for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart.
