Chargers RB Austin Ekeler dealing with ankle injury

Austin Ekeler’s status for this week is unclear.

The Chargers could possibly be without their star running back this Sunday when they face the Titans.

According to head coach Brandon Staley, Austin Ekeler is dealing with an ankle injury and his status for practice this week is “to be determined.”

Ekeler suffered the injury during the Week 1 loss to the Dolphins.

In the contest against Miami, Ekeler finished with 16 carries for 117 yards and one touchdown and reeled in four of five targets for 47 yards

If Ekeler ends up limited or out this weekend, Joshua Kelley would be in line for the majority of the touches, with Isaiah Spiller complementing him and Elijah Dotson serving as the backup.
