Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Plays behind Dobbins, Vidal
Rotowire
Haskins carried twice for two yards while playing three of the Chargers' 66 snaps on offense in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.
Even with Gus Edwards (ankle) having been placed on injured reserve following the Chargers' Week 5 bye, Haskins has remained the No. 3 back on the depth chart. Rookie Kimani Vidal -- who was inactive for the Chargers' first four games -- has stepped into Edwards' role as the top backup to J.K. Dobbins, with Vidal outpacing Haskins in both snaps and touches in both of the past two contests.

Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Just two carries in win
Rotowire
Haskins carried the ball twice for five yards in the 23-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
There was some thought the 24-year-old could take over for the injured Gus Edwards (ankle) given Haskins had been active all five games, but rookie Kimani Vidal stepped in immediately and effectively ended that speculation with 51 total yards and a touchdown on six touches. Expect Haskins to remain on the active roster but used specifically on special teams.

Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Questionable for Week 2
Rotowire
Haskins (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.
The first-year Charger is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest after logging a week of limited practice sessions due to a toe injury. Los Angeles' special-teams unit will take a hit if Haskins is unable to suit up in Week 2, as he was one of the Chargers' top special-teamers in Week 1.

Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Pops up with toe injury
Rotowire
Haskins (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Haskins logged 19 special-teams snaps during the Chargers' Week 1 win, but he now appears to be dealing with a toe injury. If the third-year running back from Michigan has to miss time due to this issue, expect Kimani Vidal to work as Los Angeles' third-string running back.

Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Not involved in win
Rotowire
Haskins failed to record an offensive snap in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Chargers.
Haskins was not involved in the offensive game plan Sunday, instead working on special teams for 19 snaps. Fellow running backs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins were the primary options out of the backfield, with Dobbins separating himself as the more efficient option. Haskins will likely find it difficult to see much playing time on offense, especially as rookie Kimani Vidal develops this season. Haskins should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Chargers visit the Panthers in Week 2.

Rotowire
The Titans waived Haskins on Tuesday.
With Haskins having been waived, Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and Julius Chestnut are the running backs currently on Tennessee's 53-man roster. Haskins could be claimed by another team, but if he passes through waivers, he might potentially end up back with Titans on their practice squad.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Heads back to injured reserve
Rotowire
Haskins (undisclosed) was removed from the commissioner exempt list Friday, but he returned to injured reserve following the transaction, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Haskins found himself on the commissioner exempt list Aug. 29 through Friday after charges were dropped Thursday following allegations of aggravated assault stemming from an arrest during the summer. Now that his legal situation has been settled, he'll remain on IR for the rest of the season unless the Titans opt to waive the 2022 fourth-round pick at some point.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Sitting out practice
Rotowire
Haskins (undisclosed) did not practice Monday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
Haskins is working to earn the backup role to Derrick Henry for the 2023 campaign, although it's expected he'll ultimately be No. 3, seated behind third-round rookie Tyjae Spears. It's not clear what kind of injury Haskins is dealing with or how long he may be absent. The team did sign Jacques Patrick to a contract Monday, which could mean they expect Haskins to miss more than a day or two. Haskins now will focus on getting healthy and returning to the mix of the Titans' backfield competition.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Facing competition for touches
Rotowire
Haskins will have competition for the backup running back role after the Titans selected Tyjae Spears in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Titans selected Haskins in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and his primary contribution in his rookie campaign was as a kick returner. He may be limited to that role once again after Tennessee selected Spears, a well-regarded runner out of Tulane, in the third round of the 2023 Draft. Due to his ability on special teams, Haskins' spot on the roster should remain safe even if he's bumped down the running back depth chart.

Haskins carried two times for three yards and hauled in both of his targets for 13 yards in Saturday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Week 17 Adds (RB Preview)
Rotowire
With Derrick Henry out, we expect Haskins to see 15-plus carries for the Titans and he'll likely catch a couple of passes as well. He's caught two passes in each of the Titans' past two games and has produced 50 yards on his 11 rush attempts this season. He's right there with Zack Moss as a high-end flex in full PPR.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Three touches in loss to Chargers
Rotowire
Haskins recorded one rush for eight yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers. He added two receptions on two targets for seven yards.
Haskins operated as the backup to Derrick Henry with Dontrell Hilliard (neck) out for the rest of the regular season. He earned only one rush attempt and saw both of his targets with the team in obvious passing situations. Henry will continue to operate as the clear workhorse back, though Haskins has emerged as his primary backup.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Logs full session Wednesday
Rotowire
Haskins (hip) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
Haskins missed back-to-back games due to a hip issue, but he's logged his first full practice since suffering the injury and is trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Chargers. If available, the rookie fourth-round pick will presumably reprise his role as the team's primary kick returner and could operate as the No. 2 back behind Derrick Henry, as Dontrell Hilliard (neck) has already been ruled out for Week 15.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Deemed questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Haskins (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
Haskins was limited at each practice during Week 14 prep and is considered questionable for Sunday. The rookie running back was sidelined for Week 13 after landing on the injury report Friday as a limited participant with a hip injury, so while he's been able to participate in practice, it doesn't appears like he's made much progress since suffering the injury.

Titans' Hassan Haskins: Selected by Tennessee in the fourth
Rotowire
The Titans selected Haskins in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 131st overall.
This is an odd selection for a couple reasons -- the first is that Haskins wasn't expected to get drafted until later in the draft's third day, if at all -- the second is that the Titans had a better version of Haskins in D'Onta Foreman and let him walk in free agency for peanuts. Haskins is a slower power back out of Michigan, and at 6-foot-2, 228 pounds he has a problematically high build for the position. A 6-foot-2 running back is a target for upper body collisions, especially when they're lighter than 235 pounds or so. Haskins will hold his ground and run hard if the Titans need him to, but he also might struggle to get to the second level in the NFL.
