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.

Rejoins Chargers
Newsome signed a contract with the Chargers on Saturday.
Analysis: Newsome survived roster cutdowns at the start of September but was waived by the Chargers later in the month, and had one carry for zero yards over three games. The 24-year-old was signed for depth purposes with starting RB Melvin Gordon (hamstring) receiving a late questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Titans in London.

Waived by Chargers
The Chargers waived Newsome on Monday, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Newsome was waived to make room for running back Justin Jackson, who Newsome beat out for the third-string job in camp due to a strong performance in the preseason. Newsome barely saw the field during his short tenure with the Chargers and carried the ball just once for no gain. He was not selected in the 2018 NFL Draft and will now look for an opportunity elsewhere.

Earns spot on roster
Newsome earned a spot on the Chargers' 53-man roster, Jack Wang of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Analysis: Newsome led the Chargers with 42 preseason carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns, marking the second consecutive year an undrafted rookie running back earned his way onto the Chargers roster. It's unclear where Newsome ranks in the depth chart, as along with Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler, the team also opted to keep 2018 seventh-round pick Justin Jackson, who missed three exhibition games with a hamstring injury. An injury to Gordon would likely open up a plethora of carries, but Newsome…read more

Tallies 35 yards on the ground
Newsome carried the ball seven times for 35 yards and also returned a kickoff for 63 yards in Thursday's 23-21 preseason win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Newsome was the first running back to hit the field Thursday, seemingly solidifying his position on the 53-man roster. Where he'll slot on the depth chart remains to be seen, but if his kickoff return was any indication, the undrafted rookie could be a factor even with limited snaps.

Scores touchdown in Saturday's preseason contest
Newsome carried the ball 12 times for 34 yards and a touchdown in a 36-7 preseason loss to the Saints on Saturday.
Analysis: Melvin Gordon's surprise absence for personal reasons allowed Newsome to tally the bulk of the second-string carries, converting a touchdown in his first series of work. The undrafted rookie running back appears to have an edge on Russell Hansbrough for the No. 3 duties, but Justin Jackson (hamstring) remains a wildcard when it comes to the aforementioned spot on the depth chart. If the No. 3 rusher in Big Ten history is able to prove he's healthy during the Chargers' final preseason game…read more

Leads team in total yards
Newsome carried the ball 19 times for 78 yards and also caught three receptions for 22 yards in the Chargers 24-14 preseason win over the Seahawks on Saturday
Analysis: Newsome received the lion's share of the carries Saturday as Justin Jackson (hamstring), Austin Ekeler (calf) and Russell Hansbrough (undisclosed) all sat out of the contest. The 24-year-old has taken the majority of the third string reps with Jackson limited most of the preseason, setting the stage for the undrafted rookie to possibly catch on to the 53-man roster.

Tallies touchdown in preseason loss
Newsome carried the ball four times for three yards and a touchdown, and also caught four passes for 34 yards in a 24-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.
Analysis: Newsome struggled to gain much traction Saturday, ripping off a carry for six yards but otherwise finding himself stuck in the backfield. Given that Newsome's competition for the No. 3 role, Russell Hansbrough, tallied three carries for 21 yards, it wasn't a great night for the undrafted rookie. With Justin Jackson (hamstring) looming in the background as another candidate for the aforementioned spot on the depth chart, Newsome will need a better performance against Seattle next Saturday.

Newsome signed with the Chargers immediately after the 2018 NFL Draft, Ricky Henne of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: While he wasn't a priority undrafted free agent, Newsome has a real chance to create buzz in August, heading into training camp with a Chargers team that only has four other tailbacks on the roster. Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler are locked in atop the depth chart, leaving Newsome, Hansbrough and seventh-round rookie Justin Jackson to compete for one or two spots on the 53-man roster. Newsome is the all-time touchdown leader (46) for FCS program Western Carolina, where he finished his career…read more
