Chargers rookie running back Isaiah Spiller left the preseason contest against the Cowboys during the second half with an ankle injury.
Following the game, head coach Brandon Staley said they don’t know the severity of it, but Spiller’s injury should not be serious.
The timeframe for his return is unknown.
Spiller left the game with three carries for three rushes.
It was a stagnant night for the running backs vying for the second spot on the depth chart.
Joshua Kelley finished with 18 rushing yards on seven carries. Larry Rountree had 11 yards on four carries. Leddie Brown and Kevin Marks had five carries for 11 yards and four carries for 10 yards, respectively.
Los Angeles has one preseason game left, which is next Saturday against the Saints. This will be the back’s final shot to make their cases to be Austin Ekeler’s running mate this season.
