Lands back on practice squad
Published: 2024-12-09
The Chargers reverted Patterson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Patterson got his first elevation of the campaign for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs and played one snap on special teams. That was his first regular-season action since he suited up in three contests for the Commanders in 2022. With J.K. Dobbins on IR for at least two more games, Patterson could get additional elevations, though it's unlikely he'll see much action on offense.

Elevated by Bolts for Week 14
Published: 2024-12-07
The Chargers elevated Patterson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Patterson signed with the Chargers' practice squad in early September after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. It's his first elevation of the 2024 campaign, though he'll likely be restricted to a special teams role as the Chargers already have Gus Edwards, Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins in the backfield. Patterson last saw NFL regular-season action in 2022 with the Commanders, and across three games he turned 17 carries into 78 yards.
Joins Chargers' practice squad

Patterson signed with the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Patterson was let go by the Bolts in late August after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's now found a spot on the practice squad. The 24-year-old running back's last regular-season action came in 2022 with the Commanders, when he appeared in three games and recorded 78 rushing yards on 17 attempts.
Waived by Bolts
Published: 2024-08-29
The Chargers waived Patterson on Thursday.
Patterson made the Chargers' initial 53-man roster, but he was subsequently cut after the team claimed fellow RB Hassan Haskins on waivers. Also in the Los Angeles backfield mix ahead of Week 1 are Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and rookie Kimani Vidal.
First RB with touch Saturday
Published: 2024-08-17
Patterson had four carries for 10 yards while catching all five of his targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 13-9 preseason loss to the Rams.
Patterson was the first back deployed by the Chargers sans J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards while the projected starting duo continue to sit until the regular season. Rookie Kimani Vidal (11-49-0) had a strong showing Saturday as both young backs continue to battle for spots and roles behind the aforementioned veteran transplants from Baltimore. Expect Patterson to see more work in the Chargers' final preseason tilt against the Cowboys next Saturday.
Pushing for RB3 job
Published: 2024-08-14
Patterson is believed to be the leading candidate for the Chargers' RB3 job, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
According to Popper, Patterson has gotten the most reps with the first-team offense behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, notably running ahead of Isaiah Spiller and Elijah Dotson. Patterson was also the first running back into the Chargers' first preseason game, finishing with seven carries for 38 yards. Patterson spent most of the 2023 season on Los Angeles' practice squad before a short stint back in Washington. Patterson has 85 career carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns.
Tallies 42 yards in preseason loss
Published: 2024-08-10
Patterson carried the ball seven times for 38 yards and also caught one of his two targets for four yards in Saturday's 16-3 preseason loss to the Seahawks.
Patterson started the game at running back with Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins both healthy inactives and continued to see time until early in the third quarter. Los Angeles' offense as a whole struggled to move the ball, especially in the first 30 minutes of the game, as Patterson's long of 16 yards came near the end of the first half with Seattle playing a prevent defense of sorts, content to let the Chargers effectively run out the clock. Neither Elijah Dotson (three carries, seven yards) or Isaiah Spiller (five carries, five yards) did much with their limited opportunities on the ground and it's also worth noting intriguing rookie Kimani Vidal also was held out of the exhibition, which appeared to be a coach's decision.
Taking some first-team reps
Published: 2024-07-26
Patterson got a lot of first-team snaps during practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
With Gus Edward (undisclosed) limited to individual drills and sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal working with the backups, J.K. Dobbins and Patterson seem to be getting most of the first-team RB snaps early in training camp. Patterson nonetheless seems more likely to find himself on the roster bubble than competing for a significant Week 1 role, considering he went undrafted back in 2021 and didn't make a regular-season appearance last year. He spent most of 2022 on the Commanders' practice squad and most of 2023 on the Chargers' practice squad.
Joins Chargers
Published: 2024-01-10
The Chargers signed Patterson to a reserve/future deal Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Patterson wasn't able to make his way onto the field this season, but he'll now get a chance to compete for a spot on the Chargers' 53-man roster for 2024. He probably lacks the size to ever take on a workhorse role.
