3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson has been placed on the COVID-19 reserve list. Jackson is entering training camp in a competition with Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree III to back up Austin Ekeler. It has already been reported that Jackson could be on the roster bubble, and being sidelined to begin training camp will not help his chances. There is no timetable for how long Jackson will be out, but any missed time is critical in his competition. Jackson has rushed 138 times for 676 yards and caught 43 balls for 330 yards in three seasons with the Chargers. The Chargers have a new coaching staff and new offense with Joe Lombardi as the new offensive coordinator. Whoever wins the backup job behind Ekeler should be one of the better insurance options heading into the season and could even make an impact as a flex option.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
