Bolts add speed to backfield with Keaton Mitchell

The Los Angeles Chargers signed running back Keaton Mitchell to a multi-year contract, adding explosive speed to their backfield alongside Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal. Mitchell, who joined Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in 2023, rushed for 396 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie before an ACL injury cut his 2023 season and limited his 2024.
