Austin Ekeler Expecting To Return In Week 6

Austin Ekeler Expecting To Return In Week 6

one year ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) told reporters on Wednesday that he expects to be able to return to action following his team's Week 5 bye. Ekeler hasn't played since injuring his ankle during Week 1 but he stated on Wednesday, "We have a long time between now and Monday night football vs. the Cowboys, so expecting to be back by then for sure." Ekeler's return would relegate Joshua Kelley back to a reserve role after an uninspiring stint as the team's lead back over the past three games. Ekeler can be fired up as an RB1 in Week 6 if he does in fact suit up.
