Austin Ekeler Practicing In Full

Austin Ekeler Practicing In Full

one year ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday. Ekeler said earlier this week that he has a 99 percent chance of returning this week to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football after sitting out since suffering a right high-ankle sprain in the season opener. As long as the 28-year-old doesn't suffer a setback later this week, he should be active and belongs in all starting fantasy lineups in redraft leagues. Joshua Kelley fell flat as the Bolts' primary backfield option in the three games that Ekeler missed and has been returned to the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues. Ekeler had 16 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown in the season opener and added four receptions for an additional 47 yards.
