The Chargers now have a 21-day window to evaluate the running back in practice and add him to the active roster. However, head coach Brandon Staley said that if Kelley has a good week of practice there's a good chance he could be activated for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Once he returns, Kelley will look to return to his No. 2 role behind Austin Ekeler in the Chargers' backfield. In six games this season, the twenty-five-year-old has 104 rushing yards and one touchdown on 23 attempts.

He is a former fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Chargers.
