Austin Ekeler Returns To Practice

Austin Ekeler Returns To Practice

one year ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) returned to a limited practice session on Wednesday. Ekeler didn't practice or play the last two weeks after injuring his ankle in the season opener, so the fact that he was back out on the field on Wednesday is a great sign for his chances of playing in Week 4 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Joshua Kelley flopped in his opportunity as the Bolts' lead back the last two weeks, gaining 51 rushing yards on 24 carries (2.13 yards per carry) while catching one pass for a five-yard gain. Ekeler still isn't a lock to be active this weekend and will need to show more the rest of the week at practice, but if he returns, he's a must-start in all fantasy lineups against Vegas.
