Austin Ekeler On Track To Return In Week 6?

Austin Ekeler On Track To Return In Week 6?

one year ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) said he was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. The Chargers won't release their first official injury report until Wednesday, so we'll have a better idea of Ekeler's status coming out of the bye week then, but it sounds like the week off did him some good. He hasn't played since suffering a high-ankle sprain in the season opener, but the 28-year-old said he's "99 percent" certain that he'll be back on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Ekeler will be more risky in fantasy lineups in Week 6 with their game being on Monday night, but hopefully we'll have a better sense of whether he's a lock to play by the start of the weekend. If he's active on Monday, Ekeler should be returned to starting lineups in redraft fantasy leagues.
