Kenneth Farrow spent two seasons with the Chargers, the first as a backup to Melvin Gordon and the second on injured reserve.
Three days from beginning their offseason program, the Bolts waived the running back, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports (on Twitter). The Chargers waived Farrow in September with an injury designation, and he ended up on their IR list. He’ll now revert to waivers.
Wilson notes Farrow, who suffered a shoulder injury last year, is now healthy and has been training in Houston. The third-year back is a University of Houston product. Farrow started two games for the 2016 Chargers and played in 13. He totaled 262 yards from scrimmage, most of which coming after a late-season Gordon injury created an opportunity for playing time.
Los Angeles’ current contingent behind Gordon consists of former UDFAs Austin Ekeler and Russell Hansbrough, so it should be expected the team will target a running back in the draft.
Congratulations to Kenneth Farrow! Now he has plan opportunity to leave the classless, city-less, stadium-less “Spanos Chargers” and join an actual professional football team.
Dunbar: don’t be a hater. The city is LA…or did you miss that….2nd largest city. Brand new stadium…will be the best in NFL. Good GM finding us players. Spanos has issues but he doesn’t play. The libs in SD voted no-60% voted no. That is why the team moved. You don’t want to pay…..you don’t get to play.
