Chargers add running back Keaton Mitchell to injury report with ankle injury
Summary

The Chargers have added running back Keaton Mitchell to their injury report for Week 4 due to an ankle issue. He was limited in Wednesday's practice and seen in a walking boot. While the injury may have occurred during practice, Mitchell expressed minimal concern and stated he was "ok." He has two more practice opportunities before the Chargers face the Seahawks. If Mitchell cannot play, Kimani Vidal would move up as the backup behind Omarion Hampton, as Mitchell had increased carries in the previous game.
