Chargers Promote RB Detrez Newsome, Waive LB Emmanuel Ellerbee

The Los Angeles Chargers announced that they have promoted RB Detrez Williams from their practice squad and waived LB Emmanuel Ellerbee in a corresponding roster move.

With Chargers RB Melvin Gordon being downgraded to questionable with a hamstring injury, Los Angeles clearly wanted to add some depth at the position prior to Week 8.

Newsome, 24, signed on with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of Western Carolina back in April. Los Angeles elected to waive him last month and quickly signed him to their practice squad.

In 2018, Newsome has appeared in three games and recorded one rushing attempt for no yards.
