According to NFL Media’s Tom Pellisero, the Chargers are bringing in running backs Jordan Scarlett and Brian Herrien for a workout.
The move comes after RB Justin Jackson left the season opener against the Bengals with a quad injury.
Coach Anthony Lynn said that he was unsure how severe Jackson’s injury was, and that the team was going to take it day-by-day.
The Panthers selected Scarlett in the fifth-round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Scarlett appeared in nine games as a rookie, mainly contributing on special teams.
Herrien signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent this past April. In four years at Georgia, he averaged 5.1 yards per carry, with 277 carries for 1,413 yards and 13 touchdowns, adding 28 receptions for 167 yards and two touchdowns.
