Chargers reunite with a familiar face at RB

Thanks largely to a jet ski accident that left him with a torn ACL and threw his career off course, Miller-Hines hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since 2022. The former Colt, Bill and Brown signed with the Chargers in July, but he was unable to crack their season-opening roster.

After the Chargers released him from their practice squad in early September, Miller-Hines is returning to a team that’s in dire need of help in the backfield. He could play this week against the Dolphins, according to Rhim.

The Chargers, losers of two in a row after a 3-0 start, placed starting RB Omarion Hampton on IR with an ankle injury on Monday. That came two weeks after veteran Najee Harris suffered a season-ending torn Achilles.

With Hampton set to miss at least four games and Harris done for 2025, the Chargers are left with the unproven duo of Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal as their top options at the position. With that in mind, they worked out Miller-Hines and fellow veteran RBs D’Onta Foreman, Royce Freeman and Trayveon Williams on Tuesday, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2.

Miller-Hines is one of a few new additions to the Chargers’ practice squad. They also signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor and center Josh Kaltenberger, Wilson relays. The team released guard Michael Dunn and linebacker Kana’i Mauga from its practice squad in corresponding moves. The Bolts recently released Reagor, a first-round pick of the Eagles in 2020 and a Charger last year, and Kaltenberger. Like Miller-Hines, they’re now back in the organization.
