The Los Angeles Chargers today placed running back Hassan Haskins on Reserve/Injured. The team also elevated running back Amar Johnson and running back Jaret Patterson from the practice squad for Sunday's game.

Johnson, a rookie from South Dakota State, played four seasons with the Jackrabbits (2021-24), seeing action in 56 career games. He finished his career with 3,194 rushing yards, ranking eighth in program history. Johnson added 28 rushing touchdowns on 537 attempts (5.9 avg.) and hauled in 57 passes for 518 yards (9.1 avg.) and two touchdowns. He was a two-time first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference recipient (2023-24), setting a career high with 1,222 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in 2024. Johnson initially signed to the Bolts practice squad in August after signing as an undrafted free agent with Green Bay in May.

Patterson has appeared in 22 career games, including a start, with Washington and Los Angeles after entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He played in the Chargers' Week 8 win over Minnesota as a standard elevation, running 11 times for 30 yards (2.7 avg.). In his career, Patterson has totaled 374 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 96 attempts (3.9 avg.), while hauling in 10 passes for 73 yards (7.3 avg.). The Glendale, Md., native spent last season on the practice squad for the Bolts and Commanders.

In three seasons at the University at Buffalo (2018-20), Patterson was a two-time team captain and had three-straight 1,000-yard campaigns on the ground. Patterson finished his Bulls career ranked No. 1 rushing touchdowns (52) in program history and second in rushing yards (3,884) and 100-yard performances (15). He set single-season school records with 1,799 rushing yards and 19 touchdown runs in 2019, tying his own record a season later with another 19 rushing scores. Patterson ran for 409 yards and eight touchdowns against Kent State in 2020, the most rushing scores by any FBS player in over 25 years, eventually earning recognition as All-America from The Associated Press and Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year
