Chargers send Branden Oliver (turf toe) to injured reserve
The San Diego Chargers placed running back Branden Oliver on injured reserve with turf toe, ending his season.
Oliver's absence helps clarify the Chargers' backfield, as Melvin Gordon is expected to act in the early-down role, with Danny Woodhead handling the third-down job.
Oliver saw just 12 total touches in the Chargers' first 5 games, but he saw this total increase to 32 touches over the last three games. Despite the increase in touches, Oliver struggled to a -0.94 Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play, which ranks 29th among running backs with at least 30 carries.
