Austin Ekeler Misses Wednesday's Practice

Austin Ekeler Misses Wednesday's Practice

one year ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Ekeler didn't practice at all last week or play in the Week 2 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he's not off to a great start this week. Head coach Brandon Staley said on Monday that there's "no timeline" for Ekeler's return from an ankle injury he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins, so fantasy managers need to be prepared to potentially be without him for a second straight game. Joshua Kelley was a popular waiver-wire pickup last week but disappointed with 13 carries for 39 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans as LA's lead back. Kelley could easily bounce back if Ekeler sits again, though, as he'd be facing a Vikings defense that has been very generous through two games.
