Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Chargers are bringing RB Kalen Ballage for a visit this week.
The Chargers just lost RB Austin Ekeler for an extended period of time, so it’s not surprising to see them in the market for some help at the position.
Ballage, 24, is a former fourth-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Arizona State. He was entering the third year of his four-year, $3 million rookie contract.
Miami had initially planned to release Ballage but the Jets swooped in with an offer before he could be placed on waivers. New York agreed to send a conditional 2021 seventh-round pick to Miami in exchange for Ballage. However, the deal fell through after he failed a physical.
The Jets later signed Ballage to their roster before waiving him earlier in the week.
In 2020, Ballage has appeared in three games for the Jets and rushed for 13 yards on three carries (4.3 YPC) to go along with nine receptions for 67 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
