The New York Giants, who are currently thin at running back depth due to injuries, have signed former Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley to the 90-man roster.

Kelley, 5-11 and 212 pounds, was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 draft by the Chargers out of UCLA. Over four seasons, he appeared in 54 games with four starts, and has 320 attempts for 1,148 yards and six rushing touchdowns, and has 50 receptions for 319 yards.

Tracy has an ankle injury that could leave him week to week. Miller has been dealing with some tightness in his lower body. The Giants' other running backs are Devin Singletary, Eric Gray, and Lorenzo Lingard, who were added earlier this week.

The Giants placed defensive back Elijah Riley on injured reserve to clear a roster spot for Kelley.
