The Los Angeles Chargers have officially signed former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott to their roster as they head into the playoffs. In a series of roster adjustments, the team released Laviska Shenault to accommodate Elliott on the practice squad. This strategic move comes as the Chargers also opened the return window for wide receiver Simi Fehoko from injured reserve, allowing him a chance to contribute during the playoff stretch.

Elliott, who will don the No. 24 jersey, is expected to quickly adapt to the Chargers' offensive scheme. His elevation from the practice squad could provide crucial depth ahead of the team's playoff opener against the Houston Texans, especially as the team navigates through its injury challenges.

Ezekiel Elliott has joined the Los Angeles Chargers' practice squad, bringing his veteran experience to the team as they prepare for the playoffs. Released by the Dallas Cowboys on December 31, Elliott's signing coincides with the Chargers' strong season, finishing at 11-6 and entering the wild-card round against Houston.

Head Coach Jim Harbaugh reflected on Elliott's past performances, recalling a challenging game in 2015 where Elliott dominated with 214 rushing yards. The Chargers' dynamic lineup now also features Elliott's former Ohio State teammate, Joey Bosa, which adds to the familiarity on the field.

This season, Elliott has faced struggles, marking career lows in rushing attempts and yards. However, with J.K. Dobbins leading the Chargers' backfield, the team hopes Elliott can quickly adjust and contribute. Dobbins has shown impressive performance, rushing for over 900 yards this season.

Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, is under pressure to improve the team's performance ahead of their crucial game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers have struggled offensively, particularly in the red zone, scoring only 10 times on their last 27 drives.

With quarterback Justin Herbert healthy and returning from an ankle injury, Roman aims to enhance the run game and overall offensive strategy. The team faces challenges with injuries and must adapt to the Chiefs' defensive schemes.

The Seattle Seahawks overcame a tumultuous game to secure a 26-21 victory over the New York Jets, taking sole possession of first place in the NFC West.

Despite several special teams blunders, including a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by the Jets, the Seahawks showcased resilience with key contributions from Geno Smith and their defense.

Leonard Williams delivered a standout performance, achieving a historic pick-6 and multiple sacks, while Seattle's offense rallied to clinch the win.

The Seattle Seahawks have released wide receiver and kick returner Laviska Shenault Jr. following a poor performance by the special teams against the New York Jets. Shenault's mistakes, including two fumbles and a missed kick return, contributed to the team's struggles in the Week 13 matchup.

With Shenault's departure, the Seahawks are expected to fill his roster spot by signing a free agent or promoting a player from their practice squad. Rookie Kenny McIntosh may step in to handle special teams duties.
