Little impact in preseason loss
Newsome carried the ball five times for 17 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Saints.
Analysis: The second-year back didn't look hampered by the minor leg injury he suffered in practice last weekend, but Newsome also didn't do much to make a positive impression on the coaches, posting pedestrian numbers for the second straight game. Troymaine Pope, however, did, ripping off an 81-yard score on a punt return. Even if Melvin Gordon's holdout drags on into the regular season, if the Week 1 roster allows for only one other running back behind Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson, Newsome may need…read more

Returns from leg injury
Newsome (leg) was participating at practice Monday, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newsome limped off the field at the end of Sunday's practice with the leg issue but had no problems on the field Monday. The 25-year-old presumably falls behind Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson on the depth chart while Melvin Gordon continues his holdout.

Suffers apparent leg injury
Newsome hurt his right leg Sunday during practice, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newsome limped off the field after taking a hit from linebacker Kyle Wilson. The second-year running back earned a roster spot as an undrafted rookie last season and now may have a better opportunity if Melvin Gordon's holdout continues. Even so, Newsome presumably falls behind Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson in the Los Angeles backfield.

Heightened expectations in 2019
Offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt expects Newsome to take a step forward in his second season, Ricky Henne of the Chargers' official site reports.
Analysis: Newsome beat the odds and somehow made the leap from going undrafted out of Western Carolina in 2018 to making the Chargers' 53-man roster out of training camp. He was only active for 10 games (including playoffs) and and only logged an offensive snap in four of them, but Newsome showed he could be a useful backup Week 15 against the Chiefs, when he parlayed eight touches into 53 yards. While there are only so many carries and targets to go around behind Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler and Justin…read more

Uneventful rookie season
Newsome played in nine games with the Chargers during his rookie campaign, carrying the ball 11 times for 49 yards and also tallying two catches for 19 yards.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie free agent was primarily a special teams player after re-joining the team in late October, contributing slightly on offense when the likes of Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler went down with injuries. It seems likely the Chargers will bring in competition for the No. 3 and 4 spots on their running back depth chart, but Newsome figures to be a part of the competition given his impressive preseason performance in which he carried the ball 42 times for 150 yards and two…read more

Totals 53 yards
Newsome carried the ball six times for 34 yards and also caught both of his targets for 19 yards in the win Thursday over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Newsome filled in effectively as the backup running back behind Justin Jackson, lowering the lumber on a handful of carries in the first half. The undrafted rookie free agent figures to fade from the spotlight with the likes of Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck/concussion) nearing their respective returns to the field.

Could be No. 2 back in Week 15
Newsome is likely to serve as the top backup to Justin Jackson in Thursday's game against the Chiefs after coach Anthony Lynn told Steve Wyche of NFL Network that he's "not optimistic" Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck/concussion) will be available for the contest.
Analysis: Both injured backs were listed as non-participants on Monday's estimated practice report and seem unlikely to increase their activity enough over the next two days to gain clearance for the Week 15 matchup. Even though Gordon missed his second straight game over the weekend against the Bengals and Ekeler exited late in the contest, Newsome didn't see any work on offense, as all 12 of the undrafted rookie's snaps came on special teams. Given that Newsome has seen only 11 offensive snaps in total…read more

Gains first yards of season
Newsome ran for 15 yards on four carries during Sunday's 45-10 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Newsome had just one touch for no yardage heading into Sunday. All four of Newsome's carries came during the Chargers' final full drive of the game, with Melvin Gordon (knee) knocked out of action. With Gordon likely sidelined on a week-to-week basis moving forward, expect a modest role for Newsome. Sunday brings a Pittsburgh defense ranked in the top half of the league against the run, surrendering 4.2 yards per carry.
