The Chargers' recent struggles have sparked a desperate search for running back reinforcements. After a promising 3-0 start, they've slipped to a 3-2 record, and their running back corps has been decimated with injuries to Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton.
The Chargers are now in a critical situation, and their hunt for running back help has begun.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Chargers are actively reaching out to other teams, seeking available running backs to bolster their depth or find a starter. With their top two running backs out, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal are shouldering the load, but the team is clearly looking for more options.
The most prominent names on their radar are veteran Alvin Kamara of the Saints and Breece Hall of the Jets. But here's where it gets controversial: there's also talk of Derrick Henry, the Ravens' star running back. With the Ravens potentially facing a challenging season, some speculate they might consider trading Henry, especially with their connections to the Chargers through former executive Joe Hortiz and the Harbaugh coaching connection.
However, it's hard to imagine the Ravens entering a fire-sale mode just yet. But if they suffer another loss this Sunday against the Rams, dropping to 1-5, they might be forced to consider all options, including trading away their star player.
The Chargers, with their immediate need, might not want to wait and see if the Ravens will be willing to part with Henry. But for the Chargers or any other contender, keeping an eye on a potential Henry trade makes sense, especially if the Ravens continue their losing streak.
So, will the Chargers find their running back savior? And what about the Ravens - will they make a bold move or hold on to their star player? These questions are sure to spark some heated debates among football fans. What are your thoughts on these potential trades? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments!
