The Chargers hit the road against the Texans over the weekend. They play on Saturdays at 4:30 pm ET.
Elliott returned to the Dallas Cowboys during the offseason after spending time with the New England Patriots and Tony Pollard signed with the Tennessee Titans. Dallas did not pursue Derrick Henry, who signed with the Baltimore Ravens.
The 29-year-old played in 15 games for Dallas and ran for 226 yards on 74 carries. He scored three points. The two-time leading rusher has 9,130 yards and 74 touchdowns in nine seasons. He will have at least one shot at playoff success with Los Angeles.

The Chargers went with JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards in the backfield this season after Austin Ekeler left the team and joined the Washington Chiefs.
Dobbins had a breakout season in his first healthy season since his rookie year in 2020. He has 905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns this season. Edwards has 365 yards and four rushing touchdowns.
Edwards missed the final two games of the regular season with an ankle injury. It could open the door for Elliott to be in the backfield if he can't go on Saturday.
