DALLAS - Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot is planning to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad pending a physical.
Elliott was released by the Cowboys in December so he could possibly sign with a playoff team seeking a veteran back.
The Chargers are the No. 5 seed in the AFC and open the playoffs at Houston on Saturday in a wildcard game.
This season, Elliott had just 74 carries for 226 yards in 15 games with a 3.1-yard-per-carry average.
