Chargers RB Austin Ekeler suffered a serious hamstring injury, and while we don’t know the actual diagnosis, it’s likely that he will be placed on the injured reserve with the hope of returning later in the season.
Ekeler was carted into the locker room late in the first quarter of the loss to the Buccaneers. He never returned, and following the game, coach Anthony Lynn said the injury “looked pretty bad.”.
Losing Ekeler will be huge, as he’s been one of the team’s top offensive weapons. In his absence, Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley will carry the load.
In four games for Los Angeles this year, the 25-year-old has mustered 248 rushing yards, 144 receiving yards, and one total touchdown on 66 touches
