Jaret Patterson Appears To Have Won RB3 Job For Now
3 months ago

Los Angels Chargers running back Jaret Patterson has impressed the coaching staff and appears to have grasped the RB3 role right now, which has led The Athletic's Daniel Popper to list rookie sixth-rounder Kimani Vidal as the first RB off the active roster when the regular season starts. Patterson has gotten the most reps with the first team in training camp practices among the four backs competing behind Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins. He was also the first RB in the game in the preseason opener on Saturday, ahead of both Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson. Vidal was in uniform for warmups but did not dress for the game. Spiller is on the first-team punt unit and has familiarity with special teams coordinator Ryan Ficken. Vidal has also been dealing with an injury and missed four full days of practice earlier this month.
