The Los Angeles Chargers are preparing for their second preseason game against the New Orleans Saints, with key players like quarterback Taylor Heinicke, rookie RB Raheim Sanders, and cornerback Tarheeb Still expected to make significant contributions. The game offers opportunities for players to impress and secure roster spots, especially in a competitive environment with injuries and roster battles ongoing.
Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman confirmed that running back Rashod Dubinion is healthy and ready to play, while Raheim "Rocket" Sanders has been dealing with a swollen left knee and his status for Saturday's game against Kent State is uncertain. Sanders is currently being evaluated by medical staff, and more information about his availability will be provided later.
Arkansas football team's practice ahead of their game against Kent State saw running back Raheim Sanders inactive for the second consecutive day due to a leg injury. Starting center Beaux Limmer was present but did not participate in the "fastball start" segment. Several other players, including defensive lineman Quincy Rhodes and defensive backs Dallas Young and Malik Chavis, also did not participate. Cornerback Dwight McGlothern intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown during the practice.
In a 2024 mock draft, the Chargers are projected to select Arkansas running back Raheim "Rocket" Sanders as their long-term starter ahead of Austin Ekeler's free agency next year. Sanders had an impressive first season as a starter, earning First-Team All-SEC honors. At 6'2 and nearly 240 pounds, he has a powerful yet fluid running style and notable contact balance. With Ekeler's departure looming, the Chargers may look to draft a running back early in next year's draft.
