Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:39:42 -0800 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner didn't reveal his plans at running back in Week 16 after RB Ryan Mathews (clavicle) was placed on the Injured Reserve. "Well, we've got a chance to get Ronnie Brown back" Turner said. "Jackie Battle will get a chance to play. And Brink (Curtis Brinkley ) played some yesterday, though I don't know that he would play on third down. And we'll probably add Edwin Baker to the 53-man roster. I don't know that he would be active, but we'd have to see where Ronnie Brown is."
Wed, 19 Dec 2012 05:51:05 -0800 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said RB Jackie Battle will get a chance to play in Week 16, and appeared to favor him over RB Curtis Brinkley.
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 20:14:42 -0800 San Diego Chargers RB Curtis Brinkley had six carries for 42 yards in the Week 15 game against the Carolina Panthers, while RB Jackie Battle had three totes for just two yards. Fantasy Tip: Brinkley and Battle will likely split up the carries if RB Ronnie Brown (hamstring) cannot play in Week 16. That's because RB Ryan Mathews (clavicle) left Sunday's game with a season-ending injury. Brinkley might get first crack after looking more impressive after Mathews left the game, but both he and Battle are only worth a look as a flex play at best in deeper leagues in Week 16. Even that is a bit risky at this juncture of the fantasy season.
Fri, 05 Oct 2012 16:11:41 -0700 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said isn't revealing who will start at running back between RBs Ryan Mathews and Jackie Battle until the first play of the game in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. "It's not a big deal. One had 14 carries and one had 15 carries, and if we can get that done again, it'll be outstanding," Turner said.
Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:22:15 -0700 Updating a previous report, San Diego Chargers RB Jackie Battle is listed as the starting running back on the depth chart at this point but a team spokesperson said that is only because Battle started in Week 4. The team still has confidence in RB Ryan Mathews and it likely will not take long before Mathews is listed as the starter again.
Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:15:22 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Jackie Battle is now listed as the No. 1 running back over RB Ryan Mathews on the team's depth chart. Fantasy Tip: A follow-up report noted a team spokesperson saying that Battle was listed as No. 1 on the Web site because he "just started last week, so that's why he's there." This alone should remind you about the fluidity of Norv Turner's backfield.
Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:57:33 -0700 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said he started RB Jackie Battle in Week 4 because he thought Battle gave the team the best chance to win. Turner said he was not trying to send RB Ryan Mathews a message by not starting him.
Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:04:18 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews did not start in the team's Week 4 win, as RB Jackie Battle started the game. Mathews did not play at all in the third quarter, and he had just four carries by the start of the fourth quarter. However, he was featured in the fourth with 10 carries for 60 yards, in addition to an eight-yard reception. Head coach Norv Turner said after the game he has "great trust" in Mathews. Fantasy Tip: It's clear the team was sending Mathews a message following his costly fumble in Week 3. Despite coming off the bench in Week 4, Mathews finished with a team-high 61 rushing yards. Owners should continue to monitor this situation. If Mathews can protect the football, he will remain the starting back. Battle, however, could see more carries as he was solid in Week 4 with 81 total yards and a pair of scores, in addition to four receptions.
Sun, 30 Sep 2012 14:06:41 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Jackie Battle rushed for 39 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also caught four passes for 42 yards and one touchdown in the game.
Fri, 07 Sep 2012 18:12:18 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (clavicle) appears to be targeting a Week 2 return, so RB Ronnie Brown is likely to get the start in his team debut in Week 1 against the Oakland Raiders Monday, Sept. 10. RBs Jackie Battle and Curtis Brinkley are also in the mix. Fantasy Tip: Brown might be a decent one-week RB3 or 'flex' fantasy play, especially if you were holding out hope for Mathews, but don't add Brown in place of a player with longer term value to your squad.
Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:05:04 -0700 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said Friday, Aug. 10, that he did not anticipate the team bringing in a running back with RB Ryan Mathews (clavicle) sidelined four to six weeks. That means RBs Jackie Battle, Curtis Brinkley, Ronnie Brown and FB Le'Ron McClain are likely to shoulder the load during the remaining preseason games.
Tue, 31 Jul 2012 22:33:19 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Curtis Brinkley had a strong practice Tuesday, July 31, and outshined RB Jackie Battle. Brinkley has reportedly looked better during training camp, as he tries to hold off Battle for a roster spot.
Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:58:45 -0700 San Diego Chargers RB Jackie Battle is viewed as a "triple value" to general manager A.J. Smith. "We've been talking to Jackie Battle for a while. We think he's an outstanding player," Smith said. "He's been added for depth. We feel he has triple value. He is an outstanding special teamer. He's also a good running back and can help us at fullback."
Fri, 20 Jul 2012 14:40:16 -0700 The San Diego Chargers have agreed to terms with free-agent RB Jackie Battle (Chiefs) on a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Sat, 19 May 2012 12:01:36 -0700 The San Diego Chargers likely will sign a veteran free-agent running back this offseason to add depth at the position but are willing to wait until players are willing to accept the veteran minimum. Free-agent RBs Jackie Battle (Chiefs) and Cadillac Williams (Rams) are considered options or the Chargers.
Fri, 18 May 2012 12:38:22 -0700 Free-agent RB Jackie Battle (Chiefs) has not received much interest from team since the early stages of free agency.
Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:20:43 -0700 The San Diego Chargers hosted free-agent RB Jackie Battle (Chiefs) Tuesday, March 20. He met with team personnel and toured the team's facilities. He is a candidate to join the mix as a backup behind starting tailback Ryan Mathews.
Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:41:42 -0700 The San Diego Chargers might target free-agent RB Jackie Battle (Chiefs) for their backup running back job with free-agent RB Mike Tolbert (Chargers) not expected back.
Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:15:11 -0700 The San Diego Chargers are closing in on the point of no return with free-agent RB Mike Tolbert. The team wants to know if Tolbert will return or not. If he doesn't, the team may look at free-agent RB Jackie Battle (Chiefs) shortly. Re-signing Tolbert is the team's first option, but they may turn their attention toward other veteran free-agent running backs if Tolbert doesn't seem like he will return soon.

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:14:11 -0800 New England Patriots impending free-agent RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis would be a good fit for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs will likely be looking for a running back to pair with RB Jamaal Charles (knee), who is coming back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Impending free-agent RB Thomas Jones likely won't be brought back and while RB Jackie Battle likely could have a future in Kansas City, an upgrade may be needed.

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 08:45:45 -0700 The Kansas City Chiefs could turn to RB Jackie Battle earlier in their Week 5 game. Battle has emerged as a viable part of the rotation at running back after securing a huge first down late in the team's Week 4 game. With the Chiefs limiting RB Dexter McCluster because of his diminutive size and with RB Thomas Jones and FB Le'Ron McClain being ineffective running the ball, Battle should see more playing time.
