Austin Ekeler Expected To Return In Week 17
6 years agoLos Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he expects running back Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) to play in Week 17 against the Broncos. The Chargers are still playing for the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, so getting Ekeler back as the change-of-pace back to Melvin Gordon would be big. Ekeler has missed the last two games but returned to practice at the end of last week. He'll be a risky RB3/flex in PPR leagues against Denver. Rookie Justin Jackson will go back to No. 3 on the depth chart.
