The Chargers are in major need of a running back after Najee Harris suffered a season-ending torn Achilles and then Omarion Hampton landed on the injured reserve with an ankle injury. To help solve that hole on the roster, Los Angeles signed Nyheim Hines to the practice squad on Tuesday, ESPN's Kris Rhim reported, giving him a chance to play this upcoming Sunday vs. the Dolphins.
Hines was with the Chargers this offseason before landing on the team's practice squad. After Week 1, Los Angeles released Hines and he's remained available since then. Now, he's back with the team.
