Gus Edwards Gets Six Carries In A Week 13 Win

Sunday, December 1, 5:46 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards carried the ball six times in a Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He gained 32 yards on the ground, with a long of 12 yards. In the passing game, he was targeted once, making a one-yard catch on the play. As expected, Edwards took the starting role in the backfield with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR, but the touches just weren't there, as the Bolts ran the ball only 17 times total, split between five different players. Edwards and the whole Chargers offense will likely need to do a lot more next week when they take on the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs.

Roschon Johnson Ruled Out With Concussion

Thursday, November 28, 2:33 PM

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. He exited during the first half and will finish Week 13 without registering a single touch. It's possible that he suffered his injury while making a tackle on punt coverage. The second-year running back leads the entire team in touchdowns this season despite operating as the clear backup to D'Andre Swift. This is the second time Johnson has suffered a concussion in the NFL; he also missed two games while in concussion protocol last year. Travis Homer will back up Swift until Johnson can return to the mix.
