Let go Saturday
Michel was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Michel had been a healthy inactive since Week 12, so Saturday's designation is hardly surprising. It's possible the veteran could get claimed by a running-back needy playoff team before the end of the season.

Jerry Donabedian looks at top performers from 2022 and checks in on players rehabbing serious injuries or potentially headed for free agency.

The unfortunate end of Jonathan Taylor's season may have a silver lining in the form of Zack Moss getting a big opportunity.

D'Andre Swift finally reclaimed his Week 1 role, and he wasn't the only second-round pick from the 2020 Draft to take on more work Sunday.

Undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight was the unexpected standout of Week 12, though hardly the only backup to step into a large role. Jerry Donabedian sifts through a wild weekend and looks at every NFL backfield.

Michel seemed headed for a depth role in New England last season following the emergence of
Damien Harris in 2020, but instead the 2018 first-round pick was sent to the Rams on the eve of
the season to replace the injured Cam Akers - a best-case scenario that ultimately got him a
Super Bowl ring. Michel played all 17 games for Los Angeles, but it took him a while to adjust to
a new scheme and he saw more than 23 snaps on offense only once in the first eight games of
the season. Things tipped in his favor later in the year with Darrell Henderon struggling to stay
healthy, and Michel ran for 540 yards and three touchdowns over the final six weeks of the regular season before mostly giving way to Akers in the playoffs. Michel then signed with Miami in the offseason but instead landed with the Chargers after the Dolphins cut him in late August. It isn't a great sign he couldn't win a roster spot in Miami, but he'll face weaker competition for backup work in Los Angeles unless rookie Isaiah Spiller makes a late charge after a disappointing summer. Other than Spiller and Michel, the Chargers have plodder Joshua Kelley behind lead back Austin Ekeler.
